4 hours 56 minutes, 3 cassettes

Eleven-year-old Ian and his father, a Vietnam veteran, have been homeless for several years. Now his father has found the perfect place for them, the vast, old, now unused city courthouse. As a historic monument, it is kept heated and has lots of bathrooms and a variety of exits and entrances. Then Ian's father fails to return one night, and Ian discovers that a local museum is going to put a six-week exhibit of kites from around the world in one fo the largest courtrooms.

As the kites arrive and the exhibit is mounted, Ian is increasingly fascinated by what he sees when no one is there and what he overhears. The kites are beautiful—extraordinary, imaginative, and varied. Because he reads all the books on kites what are there, Ian becomes quite an expert. He bluffs his way into being accepted as a very bright and knowledgeable boy who can, when the exhibit opens, take groups of schoolchildren around.
