The Eagle That Couldn't Fly

The Eagle That Couldn’t Fly is an adventurous, exciting tale that takes place in the tropical wilds of southeast Florida, along the scenic shores of the Treasure Coast.

The story begins when a fledgling eaglet named Eddie daringly leaps from his nest in a futile attempt to make his first flight. He plummets out of control and winds up a soggy ball of feathers in the alligator-infested waters of the Sebastian River. Coming to his rescue, a young armadillo pup named Archie pulls Eddie out of the jaws of the hungry gator, ensuring a lifetime of friendship between the unlikely pair.
