Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Gary, a grounded racing pigeon, dreams of exploring the world--until the day he falls into an adventure of his very own.
Most of the time, Gary is just like the other racing pigeons, eating and sleeping and dreaming of adventure. There's just one thing that separates him from the ordinary pigeons: he can't fly. When his friends set off in their travel basket, Gary expects to stay at home, organizing his scrapbook of travel mementos and imagining far-off places. But when he accidentally falls into the travel basket and ends up a very long way from home, he discovers that flying might not be the only way to have adventures. Leila Rudge, in her gentle, colorful style, is sure to charm anyone who has ever felt like the odd one out with this satisfying story of perseverance and being comfortable in your own skin.
Gary, a racing pigeon who cannot fly, winds up lost in the big city, where he finds the big adventure he has been searching for.
