THAT PIGEON TALKED

The power of magical thinking is not only that it can transport us to other worlds but also because it allows us to realize that anything is possible. It encourages us, as writers and as literary adventurers, to ask the 'what if' questions with the understanding that the answer could be mind blowing. Neil Gaiman once said, (roughly paraphrased) 'what if a werewolf sank his teeth into the arm of a chair? Then, we would have to write a scene describing the chair tracks leaving the murder scene.' Ridiculous, but to the point. This script not only opens that door, it tells us that we have all the help we need, friends, family, love, commitment - and who knows, other worldly beings and oddly serendipitous characters of good will who will come to our aid. This is why it's such a good script for kids - and for adults, if they will only listen.

I give this 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18. Reviewed by Juror #12. KIDS FIRST!
