Book 1 in the four-book set about Ricky and his hilarious adventures. Ricky is an ordinary boy, who dreams of being famous. And he has a secret that might just help him realize this dream. Because Ricky can fly. Truly. He can really fly. But there's a hitch. He can only fly when absolutely no one is looking. If a person, an animal or a bird sees him while he's flying, he will fall out of the sky and almost certainly die. But Ricky is desperate. Will...

Ricky is an ordinary boy, who can fly. He can really fly! But only when no one is looking. His dream is to one day be famous. But after accidentally opening the car window at the car wash, he's grounded. No movies, no swimming, no phone. And definitely no flying. But he has a plan. The school concert is coming up and he has the best ever magic trick up his sleeve. Will he wow the crowd, or fall flat on his face?

Ricky is an ordinary boy, who can fly, and who dreams of being famous. In these adventures, he finds himself flying high above a dog and a pack of Girl Guides. If they look up, he will fall straight on top of them - not just embarrassing, but deadly. Yet flying may be the only way he can gain Samantha's attention.

A collection of nine stories about the scary, the supernatural, or the unusual, including an ice maiden with a deadly kiss and a magic harmonica with the power to do good or evil.

Saving chickens from a flood, escaping a raging bushfire and impressing Samantha are just a few of Ricky's problems - as he tries to fly without being seen.

Chronicles the life of a former slave to James and Dolley Madison, tracing his early years on their plantation, his service in the White House household staff and post-emancipation achievements as a memoirist.
