Summary: Genres covered in The Boy Who Became an Eagle
Comment: The Boy Who Became an Eagle, written by Kathryn Cave and illustrated by Nick Maland, tells the story of an extraordinary boy who learns to fly and how his life makes a drastic change. This young man lives in a small community that is going though a rough time. He decides to fly away on his own and experience what the world has to offer. A traveling showman who runs a type of extraordinary-people show discovers him and makes him the main attraction. Soon the boy becomes homesick and wants to return home, but is abducted and held hostage until he outsmarts the criminals. At the end of the book the boy is back with his family and happy to be home. This book can fit into the fantasy genre or the realism genre. The story of the young boy is fantastic because he discovers that he can fly. He does not use wings; he just jumps from a mountain and keeps on gliding through the air. The storyline fits into the dream that many people have to be able to fly with the birds. He also uses his abilities to earn money being in a circus-type environment. The story fits the realism category because of the realistic settings of the towns and countryside. There is also the dynamic of the homesickness and the family love felt by the boy even when he is away. He also uses realistic ideas to outsmart the thieves when he is abducted. They believe that the wings made by the circus man are the reason that the boy can fly. The boy knows that the real ability lies in himself and when the thieves try to throw the boy out of a window he just simply keeps flying all the way home. The book shows aspects of both genres, but is a perfect combination to make the story fantastical and believable at the same time. With a fantastic flying ability the boy is able to return home to his realistic family and community.
