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

Startled

This is Not a Werewolf Story by Sandra Evans

New kid. New kid. The words fly around the showers and sinks. I can almost see them, flying up like chickadees startled from the holly tree in the woods.

Be the Music

“Something was still missing. Controlling the plane, Nashville couldn’t help but feel what a conductor must feel using a baton to direct a symphony. But Nashville didn’t want to conduct the music. Nashville wanted to be the music. He wanted to tap-dance across the notes of the page, to visit each black circle on the sheet music like a hummingbird visits each flower. He wanted to fly.” –BEYOND THE LAUGHING SKY by Michelle Cuevas

Strips of Silk

“So Dorothy took a needle and thread, and as fast as Oz cut the strips of silk into proper shape the girl sewed them neatly together. First there was a strip of light green silk, then a strip of dark green and then a strip of emerald green; for Oz had a fancy to make the balloon in different shades of the color about them.” –THE WIZARD OF OZ by L. Frank Baum

Grand Scale

“A smear of color coated the starry vault from the celestial North Pole to the horizon, pale green and delicate pink, gossamer-sheer and scintillating. It reminded Anastasia of the oil rainbows that sometimes slick parking lot puddles, but on a gobsmackingly grand scale.” –THE WITCH'S GLASS by Holly Grant
