Emilio is used to bullies stealing his lunch, predators on the prowl, and a sister who scolds him at every turn. If only he had the powers of his beloved WINGED HEROES, he wouldn't feel like such a small bird in the big city. Why can't he be as brave as Fantastic Felipe the falcon, as fierce as Raptora the eagle, or as clever as Aerial the hummingbird? They never have to put up with that stuff!
But then disaster strikes and it's all his fault that he and his friends are in danger. Will Emilio be able to find what it takes to be a true hero? Join this loveable city pigeon and his feathered friends in an action-packed adventure that forces Emilio to dig deep, find the power within himself, and uncover the real-life superpowers of birds.
