Free to Fly

The Ravenmaster's Secret by Elvira Woodruff

Though Tuck was the same blue-black coloring as the Royal ravens, he was smaller, and because he was wild, his wings were not clipped. He was free to fly where he wished, which was usually as close to Forrest as he could get.

Failed Attempt

“When no one was looking, Annabel tied flying again, being very careful only to jump off low places. She used all the magic words she knew and even made up some. She kissed her elbows, waving them in the air like wings, but she couldn’t fly.” –NO FLYING IN THE HOUSE by Betty Brock
