Book Details

In a quiet hill town full of order and expectations, Kabir struggles to belong. At school, he’s too different. Teachers keep calling home to complain about his sketchy attendance and distracted behavior. At home, he’s misunderstood. His family thinks he’s always making up stories and that he should at least try to better himself.


And one day, when it all becomes too much to bear, Kabir disappears, leaving his family and the adults around him scrambling to find him and, perhaps for the first time, truly see him.


Told with energy, humor, and deep empathy, Flyaway Boy is a celebration of imagination, individuality, and the courage it takes to be yourself even when the world doesn’t understand the story you’re desperately trying to tell.
