(4) YA Ben (call him Icarus) has always known that he can fly. His early flight experiments alternately charm and alarm his family; as he approaches adolescence, though, they urge him to abandon his fantasy. The plot provides genuine suspense: is Ben delusional or visionary? Narrated alternately by Ben and his older brother, the novel's uneven tone ranges from colloquial to highly elevated.
