The Girl Who Was Convinced Beyond All Reason That She Could

In a rusted unnamed city a young homeless girl named Eggs is trying to make her way in the world. She s shy and bold, and wary of strangers, but she is convinced beyond all reason that she can fly. And fly she does. Across rooftops and up the sides of buildings, she sneaks into secret lairs. Eggs is a loner but she makes two friends: Grack, who sells hot dogs from his bicycle cart, and Splendid Wren, a punk rocker. Both Grack and Splendid Wren try their best to protect her, but Eggs meets her match when on a cold night she swoops onto a rooftop and steals a warm jacket belonging to Robin, a neighbourhood baddie with anger management issues. Can Eggs elude his wrathful revenge?
