Book excerpt: Life in the land of Desmonia, despite the fact that each person possesses the ability to fly, has become completely regimented. Rules are automatically adhered to; the King's mysterious illness is never questioned; all jobs are dutifully performed; even the pursuit of fun has become routine. Interestingly, the citizens of Desmonia are very content with this complacent, uneventful, rule-regulated life style... During her first flying lesson, a ten year-old girl unknowingly violates one of Desmonia's oldest, most obscure rules. When the girl, as a result of her action, faces the cruelest of punishments, the typically upbeat mood in Desmonia takes a somber turn. Will either the esteemed Professor Swatit, torn between conscience and compassion, the King, struggling within a world of private torment, or the citizenry, all-accepting in their response to authority, be able to save the girl? Or, does this child have to suffer a horrible fate before the stagnation that has gripped Desmonia becomes a thing of the past?
