In the third book in the Hector Fox series, the woodland friends watch a kite soar on the afternoon breeze and get a crazy idea: they also want to fly like a bird. Can the friends work together to design and build a flying machine? Can they find a brave pilot? And what happens if something goes wrong in the skies above Owl Hill? As their latest adventure unfolds, Hector Fox and his woodland friends realize it will also take a little bravery to save the day.
