The dramatic story of Jason-the loner and the outsider-and his struggle to be accepted into the society of his classmates, The Boy Who Would Be a Helicopter shows that the classrom is indeed the crucible within which the young discover themselves and learn to confront new problems. "Anyone who was once a child, and especially those who were helicopters, will enjoy it".-David Perkins, Kansas City Star | Boy Who Would Be a Helicopter by Vivian Gussin Paley, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
