The Boy With Wings: Clash of the Super Kids with Sir Lenny Henry

Wings? Check.

When Tunde’s parents take him to a top-secret testing facility called The Complex, he’s nervous about meeting others like him who have superpowers. But trying to make new friends is the least of his worries. There’s something much scarier going on. And it’s going to take more than just the boy with wings to stop it… Now that flight isn’t an option, the only choice is to fight.
