Ascending is an excellent allegorical tale that illustrates how each of us can become who we are truly meant to be. The story is told from the perspective of an albatross bird through the life long journey he makes to become a Royal Albatross. Through heartache, love and sacrifice he is able to become who he never believed he could be. It's an easy read and very well written. A classic book to be returned to again and again.
Thanks for sharing this book with me Sherry McCleery!

I'd never heard about this little gem. I read it because my oldest sister loves this book. It is a wonderful tale about a royal albatross and his life. That's a bird, for you non-birdy folks. This isn't a documentary. It's a real story with engaging characters and told in a thought-provoking, interesting way. However, it's about so much more than birds. It's a beautiful story that is much more about US than you might realize at first. Quite profound.

I loved this book and I want all who are religious to read this book. It is a parable of how to live and what to do in life. I give copies of this book away to others of my faith and not of my faith.

I enjoyed this book is is a short book but with a story that is inspirational. It is about a seagull that ends up becoming the best he can be.. but not until he has his share of problems.

When I first heard that this was a book about a bird I wasn't too excited, but I thorougly enjoyed it! I read it in less than a day, and it was insightful and thought provoking.

An excellent short story with a moral concept. For youth but an excellent story for an uplift. I highly recommend it.

I really like this book, better than Jothanson Livingston Seagull, though there are similarities.
