Synopsis

From the Inside Flap: "Harry and the Hang Glider is for children of all ages who want to learn more about how man's ancient dream of flying like a bird has come true. This is your invitation to a parent/child reading adventure that answers some of the most commonly asked questions about the remarkable sport of hang gliding. Harry and the Hang Glider depicts the virtues of honesty and hard work, and presents a positive, inspiring message of accomplishment." From the Back Cover: "This book is written for everyone that might not know how the sport of hang gliding has progressed since its early days. Modern day hang gliding is based on rigorously tested equipment and certified instruction. Continuing education emphasizes safety and good judgment. It will always be true that man's ability to fly free deserves thoughtful respect, commitment, and confidence. The reward of flying alongside majestic soaring creatures, such as hawks and eagles, over magnificent high mountain settings is an experience not adequately conveyed by pictures and words...as it is truly spiritual."

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT "HARRY AND THE HANG GLIDER"

"HARRY AND THE HANG GLIDER, like my beliefs, teaches that "any" dream can be achieved if you have... The Desire to succeed, The Willingness to work toward it, The Persistence to finish the task, And the ability to keep a Positive Attitude and never give up. These four simple steps that Harry demonstrates in this book are the reasons for my successes, and the accomplishments of my Dreams. Hang gliding is a wonderful sport that I will always love. I hope you and your children will enjoy this story and its message as much as I have." Sincerely, Tony Barton - 1991 U.S. National Hang Gliding Champion, 1993 U.S. World Team Champions

When I first got this book, I thought it was the best book on hang gliding I 'd seen in my 24 years of flying. I had to take it to my friend's daughter's school! Still think it's the best book on the subject out there. Ray Leonard Adventure Sports Carson City, NV

I was really looking forward to sending a letter and expressing what a great job that has been done on this book. The staff and I and a few close friends really got a kick out of the concept and the quality illustrations. Dave Baxter Morningside Flight Park Charlestown, NH

Kudo's! The book blew me away! I had the neighbor kids read it and they loved it! The book is well written, has an excellent plot and is enjoyable to read. The United States Hang Gliding Association should advertise this for no charge. Brad Lindsay President Horizon Energy Systems Phoenix, Arizona
