About this listen

Lenny Henry's hilarious adventure, The Boy with Wings, is for listeners of nine to 12 and also read by Lenny Henry. Includes an exclusive comic book adventure illustrated by Mark Buckingham, available to download as a PDF.

An ordinary kid is about to become an extraordinary hero!

Wings? Check.

A super-cool, super-secret past? Check.

An impossible mission to save the world from a fur-ocious enemy? Check.

When Tunde sprouts wings and learns he’s all that stands between Earth and total destruction, suddenly school is the least of his problems. Luckily, his rag-tag group of pals have got his back, and with his new powers, Tunde is ready to fly in the face of danger.

So what if he can’t even stand up to the school bully? He’s the boy with wings—this is his destiny.

No pressure then....

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic Reviews

This book is as laugh-out-loud funny as you’d expect, but it’s also packed with super-charged thrills, characters you really care about and a whole lot of heart. I think The Boy With Wings is the start of something really special. (Bestselling author and illustrator Nadia Shireen)
... Always looking for genuinely laugh out loud funny books and [The Boy with Wings] 100% delivered. THANK YOU. (Louie Stowell, author of The Dragon in the Library)
Apart from getting picked on by school bullies, Tunde is an ordinary boy – so why do his mum and dad insist he must never run, or do sports? When a mysterious peril threatens Earth and Tunde suddenly sprouts wings, everything starts to become clear. Hilarious and heartfelt. (Imogen Russell Williams)
