Superduif

Bonnie, eleven, the only daughter of parents who had her late, has for months greeted every morning with screams of horror, yet she hides the fact that she would rather be dead, because her gentle, sensible mother and father would be so upset. Then, walking to school, she sails over a low gate and hangs in the air for a moment. Soon her arms grow into enormous wings: she has become a big, ugly bird, a pigeon with a hero's mission, swooping in to protect pets, toddlers and pensioners from storms and accidents. The more real her adventures feel to her, the harder her bewildered parents work at pretending nothing is wrong.
