"This city pigeon feels like anything but a hero... Emilio is used to bullies stealing his lunch and predators on the prowl around every corner. If only HE had the powers of his beloved WINGED HEROES, he wouldn't feel like such a small bird in the big city. Why can't he be as brave as Fantastic Felipe the falcon, as fierce as Raptora the eagle, or as clever as Aerial the hummingbird? They never have to put up with that stuff! But then disaster strikes - he and his friends are in danger and it's all his fault. Will Emilio be able to find what it takes to be a true hero? Join this lovable city pigeon and his feathered friends in an action-packed adventure that forces Emilio to dig deep, find the power within himself, and uncover the real-life power of birds."-- cover page 4.
