<p>The Flights and Plights of Benedict: The Racing Pigeon is a book about a young royal racing pigeon living a hard unfulfilling life. I mean if you think you’re having a bad day have you ever considered what life is like for a racing pigeon? To be left in the middle of nowhere being able to rely only on your own instincts under the banner of “racing”? I can assure you it isn’t a life for the fainthearted. No sooner have you gotten home from a race then you’re being sent away again from your loved ones—and who knows if you’ll return this time. And if you’re a royal racing pigeon the expectations that are placed upon you are most unfair. But after suffering a terrible tragedy Benedict isn’t happy to stay living under the control of his cruel master and he is determined to show his fellow pigeons that life can be better. Unwavering in his beliefs he sets himself a mission to prove that not all humans are nasty and greedy. Along the way after many setbacks he discovers help and hospitality can come from the most unusual of suspects. But will it be enough to alter his grim destiny?</p>
