John''s Boyne''s heartwarming tale about tolerance and acceptance is now available in paperback!
     There''s nothing unusual about the Brockets. Boring, respectable, and proud of it, they turn up their noses at anyone strange or different. But from the moment their son Barnaby comes into the world, he''s as different as he can possibly be. To his parents'' sheer horror, he defies the laws of gravity--and floats!
