A Curious Matter of Men with Wings F Rutledge Hammes

THE WALPOLE BROTHERS take their little sister, Dew, out on a johnboat to pirate the waterways for beer and loose change. Dew falls overboard and appears to drown, until two men with gigantic wings swoop down and carry her body away into the sky. The news of her disappearance hits the family hard, driving the mother to fashion wings so she can fly after the men who took her daughter. The Walpole boys set off in search of their little sister and discover love and the truth behind the centuries-old tale of the "Flying Men," as well as numerous other mysteries native to the South Carolina Sea Islands.
