An all-ages adventure about friendship and seeing past differences. Enough wit to amuse... enough charm to beguile. The New York TimesMortimer is a young bird... who cant fly. His wings just arent big enough, not yet, but that doesnt stop his well-intentioned parents from making him jump off the tree branch, again and again and again. Its terrifying and painful for Mortimer -- but he keeps trying. Then, one night, he overhears his parents talking, and discovers that they suspect hes a lazy bird! Mortified, Mortimer decides to run away from the nest. He wont return until he has learned how to fly. Mortimers journey takes him to a place he has never seen or heard of before: The City! There, he discovers strange metal creatures (cards) and strange gangly creatures (humans) -- and meets the most talkative worm who has ever lived -- Lucius! Mortimer also happens to be a vegetarian, so the two strike up an almost immediate friendship. Its not soon before Lucius hatches a plan that will allow Mortimer to visit Wormland -- a plan that involves a human sock and the invention of the largest worm who has ever existed! But danger lurks as a group of military birds are planning an attack during Wormlands most important holiday, Wormy Squirmy Day. Caught in the middle, Mortimer will be forced to choose between siding with the worms and siding with the birds -- or will he?!
