From the publisher

The first in a four-book series about taking risks and flying high from award-winning children’s author Paul Jennings and cartoonist Andrew WeldonThe other kids don’t see things the same way as me. I spend a lot of time imagining things. I just don’t get it. Inside my head I am not the same as other kids. Ricky is an ordinary boy, who dreams of being famous–and he has a secret that might just help him realize his dream. Because Ricky can fly. Truly. He can really fly. But there’s a hitch. He can only fly when absolutely no one is looking. If a person, an animal, or a bird sees him while he’s flying, he will fall out of the sky and almost certainly die. But Ricky is desperate. Will he risk flying in public, just for a shot at fame? Contains two stories: Falling for It and The Kangapoo Key Ring.
