I still cheat by reading the endings of books first. So though I've not read Nicky Singer's Feather Boy yet, I do know what will happen. I won't reveal it, but I'll just quote this line I like particularly.

"And others say.. that when he awoke the following morning, he found two golden feathers shining on his pillow, and these feathers brought him courage and love and luck for all of his life."

So hello, Feather Boy. It's much better than Song or Road, isn't it?
