The Boy With Wings

Based on the book by Sir Lenny Henry

An ordinary kid is about to become an EXTRAORDINARY hero!

Wings? Check.

A super-cool, super-secret past? Check.

An impossible mission to save the entire galaxy. Check.

When Tunde sprouts wings and learns that his father is a ferocious alien warrior, he’s all that stands between the galaxy and total destruction – suddenly his parents and school aren’t all he has to contend with.

Luckily, his rag-tag group of pals have got his back, and with his new powers, Tunde is ready to fly in the face of danger – this is his destiny. No pressure then…

Adapted by Arvind Ethan David from Sir Lenny Henry‘s hilarious book The Boy with Wings is an interstellar, action-packed adventure about friendships, being brave, and how our differences are our super-power!
