Icarus, the Boy Who Flew Too High
Katie Daynes, Kim Smith
Things don’t look good for Icarus and his dad. They’re imprisoned in a tower inside a maze on a rocky island. Can a daring idea fly them both to freedom? This colourfully illustrated adaptation of the classic story from Ancient Greece has been specially written for young readers who have just started to read alone.
Reviews
This book is very good as it a greek myth. My favourite chapter was flying free. I would recommend this book.

I liked their escape plan and how the guards were shaking their fists at them! And I liked how they were being so sneaky. I liked how they used the feathers and how Icarus said “nope none for you today” to the birds.

I liked the ending of the book because it was funny. My favourite character was icarus because he wasn’t very clever.

It was about a boy who could fly. He found some bird wings and his dad helped him use them to fly but he flew too high and he fell down in the sea. He was ok.

The thing I have learnt from this story are, listen to elder one's advise and not to be too greedy.
