»
« Amy Alden: Dad, stop being so dramatic.

« Thomas Alden: Now, look, this is just the beginning, Amy. We've got to make 120 nautical miles by sundown, fly across Lake Ontario, cross an international boundary without a permit carrying stolen goods, without filing a flight plan, without any official approval, four days behind schedule. We're on the edge, my dear.

Plots:
Amy moves to Ontario to live with her father after the death of her mother. Her father, an aviation expert, helps Amy lead a flock of orphaned geese south for the winters.
Amy is only 13 years old when her mother is killed in a car accident in New Zealand. She goes to Canada to live with her father, Thomas, an eccentric inventor whom she barely knows. She is miserable in her new life…that is until she discovers a nest of goose eggs that were abandoned when developers began tearing up a local forest behind her house. They hatch and she becomes “Mama Goose”. They must fly south for the winter, but who will lead them there? With a pair of ultralight airplanes, Amy, Thomas, and their friends must find a way to do so.
Amy is a young teenager when she loses her mother in a car accident. Because of that, she moves in with her father, Thomas, in Canada. She finds her new life absolutely miserable, until she finds a nest of goose eggs that were abandoned when the developers tore up the forest behind her house. They soon hatch, she becomes their “mother”, and takes care of them. Winter quickly arrives, and they must fly south for it. But who will show them the way? It is up to Amy and Thomas to make sure that they find it, and with the assistance of Thomas’ invention, they do just that.
