    A small homing pigeon just landed on my windowsill...wait, there seems to be something tied to its leg. Hold on... this is what the note says: I have been privileged to read MESSAGES FROM HENRY early on it its development so I am slightly biased. Plus, how often do you get to actually be a character in a novella? Exactly! Rebecca Scarberry has created a magical world and cast as the hero -- a homing pigeon named Henry -- as the unlikely rescuer. This novella was written for young adults, but I was charmed by its rendering -- suspenseful, fun, full of 'good-old-boy' characters -- I smiled throughout the entire read. Great job, Rebecca and I will await Henry's next outing... Oops, he just flew away...
