Book Review: “Wings of Fire: An Autobiography of Abdul Kalam” by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and Arun Tiwari

book review of wings on fire

“Wings of Fire: An Autobiography of Abdul Kalam”  is written by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and Arun Tiwari. This book is an autobiography of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, former president of India. This story sheds light on the journey of a young boy from Rameswaram to become a renowned scientist. It reflects how simple living, dedication, strong will and hard work led to success. It also shows how cultural unity impacts the lives of individuals.

The story begins with Kalam as a boy  around 1930 in the village of Rameswaram where he lived with his parents and four brothers and one sister. In this book, the author tells us how the role of family, relatives, friends, and society contribute to an individual’s life. Kalam describes his village where everyone lives in harmony. Religious discrimination was unknown at that time. A passage that shows the closeness  they had:  “The high priest of Rameswaram temple , Pakshi Lakshmana Sastry , was a very close friend of my father’s . One of the most vivid memories of my early childhood is of the two men , each in his traditional attire , discussing spiritual matters.”

When he was very young, Kalam wanted to join the Indian Airforce but he was not able to clear the interview. Far from being demotivated, he focused more on studies, started his career in Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE), and was involved in the design of a hovercraft. He went to NASA on a training program. He moved to Indian Space Research and there he met Vikram Sarabhai. He also met many geniuses who inspired him. The book also describes leadership and teamwork, while making the projects. It shows how a  man becomes a leader whenever there is a successful project or a failed one.

The book reveals extensive and detailed project work by Dr. APJ Kalam, which I find distracting from the story of his life. Some readers may find this detailed descriptions boring and unappealing. It highlights the successful execution of “Agni” and other projects.

The book narrates India’s technological achievements at a time, few nations can boast of. It speaks about some brilliant minds who worked behind Indian space research such as Vikram Sarabhai and Dr. Brahm Prakash and their contribution towards ISRO.

As a reader, this book initially is very interesting particularly the portions from his younger days to a college student like how his family encouraged him. Later, the writing becomes a bit monotonous as it gives minute illustrations of the projects. At the end, he offers advice to the younger generation not to get demotivated and lead a positive life.

This book demonstrates how Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam’s simple living and positive thinking became an inspiration for the Indian youth.

Why you should read ‘Wings of Fire’

Book Fifteen of the “Wings of Fire” Series: The Flames of Hope

With the first book released in 2012, the “Wings of Fire” series, written by Tui T. Sutherland, has become one of the top-selling children’s book series in recent years. The series has so far sold over 14 million copies and has been on New York Times Bestseller for over 214 weeks. The series has aged along with those who were old enough to have read it when it was first released. While children are the main audience for the series, the “Wings of Fire” books are still a very worthwhile series to read even for older audiences because of its complex meanings and themes.

The series is a chronologically ordered epic adventure, told from the perspective of young dragons. The setting is a world of dragons of different tribes made of their species. They are intelligent and have complex societies, a deep understanding of personal and physical value, and the capability to wage war on each other. While humans do exist, they are treated as nothing more than animals, slightly more interesting than monkeys, and are often eaten. The main series has three main stories, or arcs, with five books, each written in the perspective of a different dragon. There are a lot of other books that contain lore and stories of characters that are separate from the main series. The world of “Wings of Fire” is extremely vast and deep. I’ve always found myself in awe again and again by the simplicity with which it covers dark and extremely complex themes. But it’s only a children’s series, right? I disagree.

The setting and plots commonly found throughout “Wings of Fire” are a group of young dragons attempting to stop a conflict. During these attempts, the characters often become associated with murder, betrayal and struggle between higher powers. Love and loyalty are often stretched and crushed. Possibly the greatest example of exceptional story writing, character development, and twisting/questioning of morals and basic rights/life is the book “Legends: Darkstalker.” This book is about a young and ambitious dragon with exceptional power and intelligence, caught between a war caused by his presence in the world who fell in love and struggled to balance his love of power with the well-being of his friends and family.

The story is an exceptionally well-written piece of art portraying life, love and death. The story is very Shakespearean and contains a fair amount of harsh treatment, murder, death and guilt, including the failed promise of a bright future. Other examples of great literature in “Wings of Fire” are present on account of the author’s great talent for ending conclusions to long stories. The ending of the arcs is exceptionally well written and puts together the experiences and events of the last five books to change the world in a way that makes sense and is very beneficial to the lore and story.

In short, “Wings of Fire” is an exceptionally well-written children’s series with copies to be found in nearly all libraries. The series is unfortunately limited by its target audience and lacks the appreciation of older groups with greater understanding of the amazing themes in the books. The characters are so lovable whether they are kind, fierce, loyal, or plain evil. With a sixteenth book expected to be underway, “Wings of Fire” is a title that deserves to be read by everyone anybody anywhere.

Book Review: Wings of Fire by APJ Abdul Kalam

Introduction.

APJ Abdul Kalam is a renowned Indian scientist who went on to become 11th President of India (2002-2007). He is very well known across India and is a recipient of India’s three highest civilian awards – Padma Bhushan, Padma Vibhushan and Bharat Ratna. Wings of Fire is an autobiography of APJ Abdul Kalam written jointly by Arun Tiwari and Abdul Kalam. It covers Kalam’s life before he became president of India and in 2013 another autobiography titled "My Journey: Transforming Dreams into Actions" was released.

Wings of Fire is an autography of APJ Abdul Kalam covering his early life and his work in Indian space research and missile programs. It is the story of a boy from a humble background who went on to become a key player in Indian space research/Indian missile programs and later became the president of India. The book has been very popular in India and has been translated into multiple languages. I recently picked up a copy and read it in a couple of days. It was very engaging initially, but tended to drag a bit towards the end with lot of technical details and procedural information of his space research and missile projects.

I loved the initial chapters of Wings of Fire since it gives a vivid picture of our country during 1930 – 1950s. Kalam was born in Rameswaram, a southern religious town in Tamilnadu. The initial chapters provides an interesting glimpse of religious harmony which existed before India’s partition,

The famous Shiva temple, which made Rameswaram so sacred to pilgrims , was about a ten-minute walk from our house. Our locality was predominantly Muslim, but there were quite a few Hindu families too, living amicably with their Muslim neighbours. …… The high priest of Rameswaram temple, Pakshi Lakshmana Sastry, was a very close friend of my father’s. One of the most vivid memories of my early childhood is of the two men, each in his traditional attire, discussing spiritual matters. …… One day when I was in the fifth standard at the Rameswaram Elementary School, a new teacher came to our class. I used to wear a cap which marked me as a Muslim, and I always sat in the front row next to Ramanadha Sastry, who wore a sacred thread. The new teacher could not stomach a Hindu priest’s son sitting with a Muslim boy. In accordance with our social ranking as the new teacher saw it, I was asked to go and sit on the back bench. I felt very sad, and so did Ramanadha Sastry. He looked utterly downcast as I shifted to my seat in the last row. The image of him weeping when I shifted to the last row left a lasting impression on me. After school , we went home and told our respective parents about the incident. Lakshmana Sastry summoned the teacher, and in our presence , told the teacher that he should not spread the poison of social inequality and communal intolerance in the minds of innocent children. He bluntly asked the teacher to either apologize or quit the school and the island. Not only did the teacher regret his behaviour, but the strong sense of conviction Lakshmana Sastry conveyed ultimately reformed this young teacher.

Kalam in younger years wanted to be an officer in air force, however he couldn’t clear the interview. He met Swami Sivananda after this failure and I found his words to Kalam interesting and in a way prophetic,

Accept your destiny and go ahead with your life. You are not destined to become an Air Force pilot. What you are destined to become is not revealed now but it is predetermined. Forget this failure, as it was essential to lead you to your destined path. Search, instead, for the true purpose of your existence. Become one with yourself, my son! Surrender yourself to the wish of God,
Here, I saw a painting prominently displayed in the reception lobby. It depicted a battle scene with a few rockets flying in the background. A painting with this theme should be the most commonplace thing at a Flight Facility, but the painting caught my eye because the soldiers on the side launching the rockets were not white , but dark-skinned, with the racial features of people found in South Asia. One day, my curiosity got the better of me, drawing me towards the painting. It turned out to be Tipu Sultan’s army fighting the British. The painting depicted a fact forgotten in Tipu’s own country but commemorated here on the other side of the planet. I was happy to see an Indian glorified by NASA as a hero of warfare rocketry.

The book covers a lot of "behind the scene" information and technical details about India’s satellite and missile program (SLV-3, Prithvi, Agni, Thrisul, Akash and Nag). This might interest technically inclined readers but is sure to put off readers who bought the book to get to know Kalam or to know his principles/ideas. Space and missile programs are huge complex projects and managing them is extremely challenging. The book does give a glimpse of the participatory management technique adopted by Kalam, but at the same time it doesn’t go into details.

Wings of fire covers Kalam’s personal life only briefly which is strange for an autobiography. For example, we don’t know why he decided to remain single or his activities outside space research (even though we can conclude in the end that he was married to science and technology).

Kalam is a poet and is a huge fan of poems. The book contains many of his own poems and his favorite poems. Here is an example,

Do not look at Agni as an entity directed upward to deter the ominous or exhibit your might. It is fire in the heart of an Indian. Do not even give it the form of a missile as it clings to the burning pride of this nation and thus is bright.

Through Wings of Fire, we come across some brilliant people who worked behind Indian space research  such as Vikram Sarabhai and Dr. Brahm Prakash. The book also contains about 24 photos and I found the ones from the early days of Indian space program very interesting. This alone is worth the price of the book!

One of the things that stands out throughout the book is Kalam’s positive thinking. He held many high ranking positions in various organizations. Yet in the book he rarely mentions anything about lethargy/corruption of bureaucracy or politicians. The secret to his success seems to be his ability to ignore negative things around him. The book also gives a clue to his popularity in India. Kalam is a simple, secular, inspiring humanitarian.

My Rating: 7/10. I liked the initial chapters, but wasn’t much impressed by later chapters. Kalam should look for a better writer to write his updated autobiography (After I wrote this review I realized that he has released a new autobiography titled "My Journey: Transforming Dreams into Actions").

Abdul Kalam’s Perspective

Abdul Kalam was one of India’s most distinguished scientists. He was an Aerospace engineer, professor, and chancellor of the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology. On top of this, he also served as the 11th President of India from 2002 to 2007. During his term as President, he was popularly known as the People’s President.

He was responsible for the development of India’s first satellite launch vehicle, the SLV-3. Kalam is popularly known as the Missile Man of India for developing ballistic missiles and space rocket technology. Kalam also played a pivotal role in India’s Pokhran-II nuclear test in 1998, the first since India’s initial nuclear test in 1974.

He also received honorary doctorates from thirty universities and the country’s three highest civilian honors — Padma Bhushan (1981), Padma Vibhushan (1990), and Bharat Ratna (1997).

Introduction

Wings of Fire is the autobiography of the former President of India, Dr. Abdul Kalam. Kalam went from being a humble boy in South India to developing India’s nuclear weapons and becoming President. Through this autobiography, the reader gains a glimpse into pre-partition India. Kalam also exposes readers to the positive thinking and ideas that helped him become such a success. This is the story of Kalam’s rise from obscurity and his personal and professional struggles. It is also a saga of independent India’s struggle for technological self-sufficiency and defensive autonomy.

StoryShot #1: Kalam’s Upbringing

Kalam starts the book at the beginning of his life. He was born in Rameswaram, India, to a secure middle-class Tamil family. His father owned a boat, which is a sign of wealth. Rameswaram was a great environment to grow up in, as there was a tight-knit community where everybody supported each other. People were willing to talk about religion and spirituality openly. From a young age, Kalam developed a respect for other religions. His father also worked as an Imam in the local mosque. Kalam grew up believing that faith is an essential part of being human.

All family members encouraged Kalam to work hard and excel at school. Kalam’s family talked a lot about the latest advancements in science and new groundbreaking literature over dinner. These conversations formed a foundation for the passion for academia that Kalam developed. Kalam was close to his parents and described his mother as more like a friend than a parent. He also introduces the readers to his closest friend, Ahmed Jalaluddin. Kalam developed intellectual and spiritual maturity from a young age because Ahmed was about 15 years older. They frequently visited the mosque together and talked about Islam. 

StoryShot #2: Learning Difficult Lessons at High School

To fulfill his dream of learning about the most advanced technology and science, Kalam left his hometown to attend Schwartz High School in Ramanathapuram. At first, Kalam thoroughly enjoyed his time at school. However, one day a new teacher arrived. This teacher, called Rameswaram Shastry, saw Kalam sitting next to a Hindu student. He told Kalam that this was not allowed and decided to send Kalam to the back of the class. This was an early example of the beliefs people held during the partition of India. After this experience, Kalam decided to stop the poison of prejudice from spreading, rather than spreading it himself. He continued to be open to all religions throughout his life, including during and after India’s partition.

When Kalam was a young boy, he sold newspapers to help his brother reduce their financial struggles. In the book, Kalam praises the demands and support of friends and family as the cornerstone of his life’s successes.

StoryShot #3: Kalam’s First Experiences With Engineering

Kalam continued to excel throughout high school and remained particularly interested in science. After completing the B.Sc. in physics, Abdul Kalam noticed that he needed to engage with engineering to make his dreams a reality. So, he chose to apply for an engineering course at the Madras Institute of Technology. That said, despite coming from a relatively wealthy background, the admission fees were still too expensive for him. Luckily, his eldest sister saw his potential and was willing to help him obtain a place. She supported him financially throughout the early stages of his time at the Madras Institute of Technology. 

StoryShot #4: Learning to Fly

This generosity encouraged Kalam to work as hard as possible to obtain a scholarship. His hard work eventually paid off, and he took some financial burdens off his elder sister. As well as academic success, Kalam was working towards living his dream. He had always dreamed of flying an aircraft. So, it makes perfect sense that Kalam decided to choose aeronautical engineering as his major at university.

Kalam provides advice to future engineering students. Specifically, he says, ‘When they choose their specialization, the essential point to consider is whether the choice articulates their inner feelings and aspirations.’ Kalam decided to pursue aeronautical engineering because it aligned with his passions. Kalam suggests that future engineers, and all future professionals, should choose a role that aligns with their dreams. This is the most critical factor.

StoryShot #5: Looking for Work

After graduating from university, Kalam had to choose between two passions. His first option was joining the Air Force. His second option was to seek a job at the Directorate of Technical Development and Production. Essentially, the latter would involve working for India’s Ministry of Defence. Kalam applied for the Air Force to achieve his dream of flying, but he was ultimately rejected. 

Kalam was initially deflated. Deeply disappointed, he trekked down to nearby Rishikesh, where he met Swami Sivananda, a spiritual teacher, author and yoga guru. Kalam considers this meeting to be one of the most important events in his life. Sivananda taught him that he had to accept his destiny and go ahead with his life. It is not worth mulling over things in the past. Instead, Kalam was better off moving forward. This is exactly what Kalam did. He could still use his passion for aeronautical engineering by working for the Directorate of Technical Development and Production as a Senior Scientific Assistant. 

Within this role, Kalam experienced significant setbacks. He thoroughly enjoyed the freedom he was given to design his aircraft. He designed an indigenous Hovercraft called Nandi. Kalam worked hard and used innovation to design this hovercraft. The new ministry rejected his design for imported hovercrafts. Essentially, Kalam had been told that his work was not good enough. Again, his aeronautical dreams had been quashed, but Kalam remained positive. He remembered what Sivananda had taught him: Certain events may be out of your control in life, and you should not take them personally.

StoryShot #6: Kalam’s Destiny Changes

Although Kalam’s design, Nandi, was initially rejected, this was not the end of its story. The design had already created interest and buzz. Then, as if destiny came knocking, the Indian Committee for Space Research invited Kalam for an interview. They were going to interview him for the post of Rocket Engineer. In this interview, he met Prof. Sarabhai, the father of the Indian Space Program. Kalam got the job and spent many years working as a Rocket Engineer. So, a large proportion of this part of the book is educational. Kalam outlines the different space stations and organizations based within India. After his initial setback, Kalam excelled in rocket science. He received the Padma Bhushan award after SLV-3, one of his rockets, was successfully launched. The Padma Bhushan is the second-highest civilian award of the Republic of India. He then moved to rocketry at the Defence Research and Development Organization. Kalam successfully introduced the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme for the development of five different missiles. On the successful launch of India’s missile program, Kalam received the Padma Vibhushan. Kalam thinks failures are seeds for learning and believed India could be a technological leader despite repeated failures.

He also learned many valuable management and leadership lessons from Prof. Sarabhai. In the early stages of his career, Kalam trusted that a free exchange of views was more desirable than giving direction. Kalam also learned that leaders exist at every level.

StoryShot #7: Kalam’s Approach to Work

Kalam had a strict schedule, even though he was leading projects. Firstly, he would enter the office and clean his table. This allowed Kalam to create an environment where he could work effectively. After cleaning his table, he prioritized the papers that required immediate action. While doing this, he would remove everything else from his sight, other than those papers. His focus allowed him to take action immediately when he identified work that needed to be done. This was especially true for time-critical tasks that could make an impact or make him memorable. 

Kalam’s general work attitude was daring, with persistence to perfection. In his eyes, perfection requires an individual to make mistakes in the past and learn from them. So, he favored allowing mistakes as part of the learning process. He decided to adopt this approach because mistakes are inevitable but generally manageable. Kalam suggests that you build your own education by developing the skills that will correct your mistakes. 

Based on this ethos, Kalam was awarded India’s top three civilian awards, i.e., Bharat Ratna in 1997, Padma Vibhushan in 1990, and Padma Bhushan in 1981. He was also glorified with honorary degrees from more than 30 universities around the world.

StoryShot #8: Kalam’s Death

Although not covered in this book, Kalam’s death follows the type of person he was. Specifically, Kalam passed away due to cardiac arrest while giving a speech to scientific students. He committed his life to advancing India’s scientific and technological understanding.

StoryShot #9: The Three Mighty Forces

To succeed in life and achieve results, you must achieve and understand three mighty forces. 

  • Expectations

These were the most important forces driving Kalam towards success. He wanted to make a difference in India through science and technology. Kalam also believed in his ability and in God to guide him towards these desires. This belief was strong and was not swayed by setbacks, such as when he was rejected from the Air Force. Instead of giving up, Kalam accepted that his life was just guiding him towards a different and more complementary path. Finally, Kalam explains that you need to have expectations for your life. Expectations allow you to set goals and react accordingly. Without expectations, you will not have any success or failure. Importantly, expectations allow you to identify failure and learn from these experiences.

Final Summary and Review of Wings of Fire

Wings of Fire covers the life of one of the most influential individuals in India’s history. Abdul Kalam had a huge political influence on his home country, but he also influenced the scientific world. The message you can take from this book is to use desire, belief and expectations to achieve your goals.

Wings of Fire Quotes

“Dreams are not that which you see while sleeping; it is something that does not let you sleep.” — Abdul Kalam, Wings of Fire

“When learning is purposeful, creativity blossoms. When creativity blossoms, thinking emanates. When thinking emanates, knowledge is fully lit. When knowledge is lit, economy flourishes.” — Abdul Kalam, Wings of Fire

“If you fail, never give up because F.A.I.L. means first Attempt In Learning. End is not the end, in fact E.N.D. means Effort Never Dies. If you get No as an answer, remember N.O. means Next Opportunity.” — Abdul Kalam, Wings of Fire

We rate Wings of Fire 4.4/5.

Wings of Fire by Dr A P J Abdul Kalam – Review

Wings of Fire - Dr Kalam book review

There are some life-changing books that can transform you into a man of energy. In the time of desperation or in frustration we often fall back to reading and reading the books that can inspire us and give certain motivation to come out of the adverse situation. Some rare books hold these kinds of power that can lift our mental strength to conquer the most difficult battle called ‘LIFE’. Many authors tried many approaches to provide us with the best arguments. Dr A. P. J Abdul Kalam, the former president of India and a visionary to whom India owes an abundance of gratitude, is a great name in the list. He has written his autobiography ‘Wings of Fire’ in which he has discussed more the youths of today rather than his own life. His autobiography is a life changer for students, youths, grown-ups and even elders. He has not written any unpractical thing or any hard psychological theory or lets us slip into the iron-logics making us understand the gravity of life. He rather chose to show us a mirror with humility and normal arguments that we often ignore in our daily life. 

About the Author:  

Dr A P J Abdul Kalam is known as the missile man of India. Wings of Fire is his autobiography where he talks about his achievements and tries to relate those with common people and make them aware and kindle a light of hope deep inside their hearts. You know why Dr Kalam is so famous. Because he never used to talk about his miseries and struggles rather he talks about what he learned from his failures. He was a passionate learner and a man who never quits trying. He has tasted failures so many times in his life but failures made him even stronger to accomplish the goal. 

The Autobiography is a testimony to those hard times that the great man had faced. His childhood, his education and difficulties around it, his struggles to get into a college, his failure to become a pilot and so on… In this book, he tries to connect with the youths of today and guide them towards learning some wonderful lessons. A line that motivates me all the time from his book is, “We are all born with a divine fire in us. Our efforts should be to give wings to this fire”. We all have the potential to do something and create something bigger. We need wings to fly and our wings will be hard work, honesty, patience, calmness and energy of never-ending. 

His life is like an open book which anybody can take a glimpse and learn something new every time. Desire is like a current that flows constantly in our mind and awakes us always to achieve something. Dreams are not those which we see while sleeping. True dreams are those which never let us sleep.  

Wings of Fire ignites the minds of Indian youths to make India even stronger in the field of technology. It proposes an India that is strong, on its own and fully-equipped to lead the world towards peace and a common goal of global harmony. Kalam’s book is a must-read for teenagers, especially! Teenage is the period that shapes the life of a people and if teenagers are inspired by the visions of Dr Kalam, we can safely trust the India of the future! 

Conclusion:  

Dr Kalam is an inspiration for youth across the world. He has shown how we can change our fate through hard work. He was a great nationalist, patriot and a brave son of mother India. The book is not just the journey of Dr Kalam but also it’s the journey of Agni, Prithvi, Akash, Trishul and Nag-missiles that have become household names in India and that have raised the nation to the level of a missile power of international reckoning. And the autobiography of this great and brave person who has made India a world power in missiles works must be read by as many people as possible. Let’s get into the depths of failures of Dr Kalam and learn how he managed to get out of all this and lead our nation into the future that we live today! A must-read book for the Indian youths.

Introduction:

Book Name: Wings of Fire

Author Name: A P J Abdul kalam, Arun Tiwari

Reading a book is a good habit, the habit of reading is one of the best qualities that a person can possess. “If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book.”

“Wings of Fire” An Autobiography of Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam, former President of India.

About the Book:

This book contains the life of a simple yet determined person. There is so much knowledge and good things that everybody can extract from this book. Reading this book is a very heartwarming and beautiful experience.

This book contains a very detailed description of how great things can be achieved through simple thoughts. This book conveys the message of the authors that always keep your dream high, your goal clear, plan perfectly and do hard work.

The story is all about a warm and intensely personal, deeply passionate, common boat – owner’s son who has become India’s most distinguished living technocrat. The pure faith in God and deep kindness, dealing life with positivity, science, and technological advancements, Love toward one country and many more things are mentioned in this book.

The book is full of insights, personal moments, and life experiences of Dr. APJ Kalam. It gives us an understanding of his journey of success.

This is a story of a boy who was born in a normal and middle-class family. He had a curiosity about aeronautical engineering. He faced so many failures during launching the satellite called SLV [Satellite Launching Vehicle] but he proved that anything can be achieved by keep trying because when you become a failure then you go one step closer to success.

The author, by narrating his life journey evokes the reader to identify with one’s inner fire and potential, for he was of the firm belief that each one of us was born with the strength and potential to make a tangible change in the world. How he inspired himself to achieve his dream and how he went about accomplished so much is what the book captures nicely.

The book recollects many anecdotes and stories from childhood, his time at school and college, He wrote the time spent at the Langley Research Center, NASA and Wallops Flight Facility gets a lot of attention.

Personal tragedies have not left been left out. The time when he lost his father and how he felt when conferred with many awards like the Padma   Bhushan have been written in much detail.

The second half of the book deals with the author, the scientist who made a significant contribution in developing the country's guided missile program, a pioneering effort for the security of the nation. It’s not with reason that he was nicknamed the ‘ Missile Man of India’.

I hope this book is best suited for reading for teenagers and youths, to dream and to dare. It shows, how a person from a modest background ends up being the first citizen of a nation of one billion.

In this book, there is something that everybody can extract from and worthy of being read by every Indian. A   very detailed description of how great things can be achieved through simple thoughts. Always keep your dream high, set your goals clear, plan perfectly and work through people. I will suggest never miss reading this great book if you haven’t yet.

My rating for the book 5/5

Awesome review....

Good news I came across NEW HORIZON CREDIT 1 , I used to have a lot of sleepless nights due to my low (FICO) credit score that was below expectations ,can’t access loans and mortgage for the new house I was about buying for me and my lovely wife . New horizon credit1 has been able to bring up my credit score tremendously by monitoring my credit between the three credit bureaus and resolving issues with providers. They are always available when I call. They take their time to discuss progress on my case and keep me updated. After about four working days of contacting them I was shocked to discover my credit score went from 650 -780 . Now I just got approved for a mortgage ! . I highly recommend NEWHORIZONCREDIT1ATGMAILdotCOM , because their representatives are helpful ,hardworking and they also do what they say , fix your credit !

thanks for your help would forever grateful to you guys

As a student borrower at texas university , about 200 point credit score dropped because of incorrect information reported by a student loan servicer, the servicer said it wasn't reporting flawed information and referred me to the credit bureaus . The point drop in my credit score prevented me from taking steps like moving and buying a car . But no one seems to help fix it even when I tried so hard to rebuild it. Luckily a student friend at my school that went through similar issues confidently referred me to NEWHORIZONCREDIT1ATGMAILdotCOM . Now the rest is history .

I have read this book. Very inspirational, I strongly recommend every youth should read it. TATA 912 LPK

Special thanks to HACK VANISH, a professional hacker I’ve been hiring for the past 2 years because, I find him to be an outstanding hacker who has aided me in various hacking related issues, ranging from fixing my poor FICO credit score of about 437 TransUnion, 462 Equifax to 802 plus excellent score, tracking my cheating husband’s phone and currently has helped me recover my lost crypto funds from an online scam investment I recently ventured into, I must confess he is the best, quite brilliant, ever since I discovered him through a positive review I saw on Wallet Hub and reached out to him via Email: Hackvanish @ Gmail. com, and Phone: +1(747) 293-8514, to which he responded in less than 10mins, I have never regretted working with him, he’s been quite helpful and highly efficient. I Would recommend his services to anyone without hesitation.

WHERE YOU SCAMMED OF YOUR COINS? CONTACT MORRIS GRAY FOR HELP!!! I invested a total of$95,000.00USD worth of Bitcoin with an online company who does trading and was guaranteed a payout of 25% a week. They ended up shutting down their company website but their website was still running. So I could still see my dashboard at that time and instead of paying weekly they ended up compounding my money. It ended up compounding to$179, 000USD so I requested for a withdrawal which was declined before they shutdown their website, I complained to my colleague at work who directed me about this recovery expert, Mr. Morris Gray, that helped him, I contacted him immediately, what surprised me most, was that I recovered my money that same week.

Until last month when I was in desperate need of a loan to buy a house , it was sad when a bad credit score became a barrier for me to acquire my dream house . My real estate agent introduced me to his credit credit score repair specialist , New Horizon Credit 1 who had been fixing credit for his client’s over the years. I contacted him and explained my credit score situations; He promised to help out, in less than 7 working days my credit score was boosted from 541 to 749 .

Metronet Credit Solution is the best in terms of credit repair. I had many negative items on my credit report that were holding me back. I had late payments, inquiries collections, charge-offs and card debts which I had totally paid off and I am not sure of the others but they were all 3 years old. I filed bankruptcy a year ago and settled all of these. I was so surprised when I found out they were still on my reports. I recently got referred by my sister to hire Metronet via (METRONETCREDITSOLUTION at GMAIL dot COM) which I did and he helped me fix my credit report. I’m recommending him for anyone in need of credit repair. He is just the best.

My heartfelt gratitude goes to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. I went through divorce recently and let my wife and kids stay in our marital home for a year before we sold it. A guy named Hinds spoke well about a good credit expert that helped him remove medical bills and raised his score to 801 in less than 6 days. I emailed him on [email protected] and he responded ASAP asking me to text him on his personal number +1 (323) 406 1225 for further discussion. Well I did and eventually got started with the project with him. I was amazed after a few days he pulled through for me and removed all my late payments and derogatory items raising my score to 808. I got the mortgage and all thanks to him and his team for helping me. Contact him with the above emails and phone number for your credit repair.

Salary earnings just wasn’t cutting the edge for me anymore , I needed more to be able to keep up with the bills and comfortably provide for my kids so when the opportunity to invest in crypto came to me I didn’t really think much about it .. I jumped on it and made my first quick money.. yes I call it quick money because the earnings came on a daily basis and i could withdraw anytime , it was the perfect side hustle for me but i made a mistake by diving in too deep as I had been overwhelmed by my desire for more .. I invested everything I had in a bid to get out fast with enough funds to last me for the most foreseeable future but the plan went downhill .. these crypto investments companies are fake .. they will tell you they use the money to invest in real estate , stock market , binary trading and even forest trading .. it’s all a bunch of lies concocted to defraud individuals their hard earned money .. one time I worked with a very reputable hacking team to gain access to my partner’s phone so I decided to reach out to them to recover my funds .. I already worked with them in the past so I had full trust in their capabilities and am glad I did ..

Language: English

One of the best habits a person may have is reading. Reading is a healthy habit. Wings of Fire by Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam, a former Indian president, wrote an autobiography. He wrote it and Mr Arun Tiwari, a well-known missile scientist who was Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam's colleague. Dr Kalam explores his upbringing, struggles, perseverance, good fortune, and chance events that ultimately led him to take charge of India's nuclear and missile programmes and its space exploration efforts.

About the Author

His full name is "Avul Pakir Jainulabeen Abdul Kalam," and he was born and raised in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, on Mosque Street. From 2002 to 2007, he presided as India's eleventh president.

He was a scientist by trade and was highly esteemed throughout India. He was instrumental in the creation of India's missile programme. From modest beginnings in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu. In his motivational autobiography "The Wings of Fire," Dr Kalam describes his ascent to success and his life's journey. After the publication of Wings of Fire, a book he co-wrote with Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Arun Tiwari became well-known as a writer. He has co-authored five books with Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam and has written several other publications. He contributed to the missile design. The Cardiovascular Technologies Institute in Hyderabad has had Tiwari as its director. He created the Kalam-Raju stent, for which he was given the Defense Technology Spinoff Award.

About the Book

The life of a straightforward but tenacious person is depicted in this novel. This book contains a wealth of information and positive qualities that everybody can benefit from. It's a comforting and lovely experience to read this book.

This book gives a very thorough explanation of how lofty goals can be realised with straightforward concepts. The writers' advice to always maintain your dream high, and your goal distinct, plan meticulously, and work hard is conveyed in this book.

The protagonist of the tale is the son of a common boat owner who has grown to be India's most illustrious living technocrat. He is warm and fiercely passionate. This book discusses a wide range of topics, including unwavering confidence in God, profound kindness, dealing with life positively, scientific and technical breakthroughs, love for one's nation, and many others. Dr A.P.J Kalam's life experiences, insights, and private moments are all included in the book. It enables us to comprehend his successful career path.

The boy in this tale was born into a typical middle-class family. He was interested in the field of aeronautical engineering. He encountered a lot of difficulties while launching the satellite known as the SLV [Satellite Launching Vehicle], but he managed to show that everything is possible if you keep trying since every failure brings you that much closer to success.

Because he was adamant that every one of us was born with the strength and potential to make a real difference in the world, the author encourages the reader to identify with their inner fire and potential by telling his or her own life experience. The book does a good job of capturing how he motivated himself to pursue his dream and how he went about achieving so much.

The book recalls several tales and anecdotes from his early years, his days in school and college, He claimed that the time spent at the Wallops Flying Facility, NASA, and Langley Research Center attracted a lot of attention.

Tragic personal events have not been overlooked. He has written extensively on the moment he lost his father and how he felt after receiving numerous honours including the Padma Bhushan.

The author, a scientist who significantly aided in the development of the nation's guided missile programme, a ground-breaking effort for the country's security, is the subject of the book's second part. He was given the moniker "Missile Man of India" for good cause.

I hope young people can read this book and be inspired to dream and take risks. It demonstrates how a person with a humble upbringing becomes the first citizen of a country with a billion people.

Everyone may learn something from this book, and it deserves to be read by every Indian. A really thorough explanation of how great things may be accomplished with the help of basic thinking. Constantly keep your dream high, establish clear goals, make meticulous plans, and collaborate with others. If you haven't already, I urge you not to skip reading this fantastic book.

Quote from Wings of Fire ,

“We are all born with a divine fire in us. Our efforts should be to give wings to this fire and fill the world with the glow of its goodness.”

Wings Of Fire Summary

Wings of Fire is one of the most inspiring autobiographies in India. This book resonates with the youth on the importance of giving wings to the divine fire within us.

Book Review: Wings of Fire – An Autobiography by A.P.J. Abdul Kalam with Arun Tiwari

Wings of Fire revolves around the personal & professional life of Kalam and the individuals who made an impact on him. The book is mainly divided into 4 sections (Orientation, Creation, Propitiation and Contemplation) of Kalam’s life which contains 16 chapters and an epilogue.

BOOK SUMMARY

Kalam introduces us to his early life in Rameswaram where he was born and raised in a secure middle-class Tamil family. He proceeds to describe the communal harmony in Rameswaram and the stable atmosphere for healthy discussion of spiritual matters.

Hailing from a predominantly Muslim locality, Kalam learned respect for other faiths from his parents. During Kalam’s early life, his close relatives encouraged Kalam to excel in studies and would talk about the discoveries of literature and science beyond Rameswaram. Inspired to fulfill his dreams, he left his home to attend Schwartz High School in Ramanathapuram.

Kalam throws light on the time he got selected at Madras Institute of Technology (MIT) for engineering when admission fees were expensive. His elder sister stood by him and helped him financially which deeply moved Kalam to study hard for a scholarship. At MIT, he dreamed to fly an aircraft and hence chose aeronautical engineering.

Kalam sends a message to the future engineering students that ‘ when they choose their specialization, the essential point to consider is whether the choice articulates their inner feelings and aspirations ’.

Kalam was determined to join either the Air Force or a job at Directorate of Technical Development and Production, DTD&P (Air) at the Ministry of Defence. However, Kalam was not successful in joining the Indian Air Force and could not fulfill his dream to fly.

Frustrated, Kalam turned to Swami Sivananda who taught him to accept his destiny and go ahead with life. He learned that this was not in his destiny. He got accepted as a Senior Scientific Assistant at DTD&P (Air). Here, Kalam faced his first failure.

His indigenous Hovercraft ‘Nandi’ was shelved by a new ministry which favored imported hovercrafts. Kalam learned the harsh truth that certain events may be out of control in life.

However, ‘Nandi’ had created interest by then and as if destiny came knocking, Kalam was called for an interview at Indian Committee for Space Research for the post of Rocket Engineer. At this interview, he met Prof. Sarabhai, father of the Indian space program.

In the section Creation, Kalam gives a glimpse of his keen eye while training at NASA. He recollects seeing a painting depicting heroism of Tipu Sultan’s army using rockets against the British.

He learned many valuable management and leadership lessons from Prof. Sarabhai. At an early stage of his career, Kalam trusted that leadership with the free exchange of views was more desirable than giving directions. Kalam also learned that leaders exist at every level.

Kalam throws light on his work schedule when he started leading projects. On entering his office he would first clean the table, prioritize papers for immediate action & remove everything else from sight.

If you want to leave your footprints On the sands of time Do not drag your feet

This memorable line has aged well which tells us to take action now when we are interested in doing a good thing and want to be remembered for it. Interestingly, Kalam preferred a daring attitude with persistence to perfection.

He favored allowing mistakes as a learning process as they are inevitable but generally manageable. He advocated building own education, skills and keeping up-to-date.

Kalam narrates his experience when he was faced with three deaths in his family. He faced failure when the first flight trial of Indian SLV-3 crashed for which Kalam took responsibility as a leader. Kalam describes two visionaries Prof. Dhawan and Dr. Brahm Prakash who mentored him during such days.

Kalam received the Padma Bhushan after SLV-3 was successfully launched. He then moved to rocketry at the Defence Research and Development Organization and successfully introduced the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme for the development of five missiles namely Prithvi, Trishul, Akash, Nag and Agni.

On the successful launch of India’s missile program, Kalam received the Padma Vibhushan. Despite repeated failures faced, Kalam always maintained that failures are seeds of further learning and emphatically believed that India can be a technological leader.

  • Writing Style

Wings of Fire is a must read autobiography for those who are looking for an Inspiration in life.

My Thoughts

The book starts off interestingly with a reminiscent narrative of early India & Kalam’s boyhood. Throughout the book, a host of genius people in space research & rocketry have been mentioned in good detail. It also contains inspirational poems written by Kalam and some of his favorite ones.

The authors show us the inner workings of a brilliant mind which not only gave wings to the divine fire but also flew the distance.

Wings of fire – Book Review

book review of wings on fire

Wings of fire is written by APJ Abdul kalam and Arun tiwari.  Wings of fire is an autobiography of APJ Abdul kalam covering his early life and his work in Indian space research and missile programs  .It is the story if a boy from a humble background who went on to beacame a key player on  Idian space research and later he became the president of India. The book has been very popular India as well as all over the world . It was very engaging initially but tended to drag a bit towards the end with a lot of technical details and information  of space researchresearch and missile project.

I loved the initial chapter of “wings of fire” Since it gives a great pictures  of our country during  1930-1950 .  Kalam sir was born in Ramasweram. The initial chapter provide a great glimpse of religious harmony  that existed during the partition of India. In younger year, kalam wanted to be an officer of air force ,  however he couldn’t  clear the interview.  Then, he met Swami sivananda after this failure and I found the words  very interesting as well as  prophetic.

In the book  I learnt how kalam started his career in Aeronautical development establishement and also involved in designing of the hovercraft. Later ,he moved to Indian space research which ws the brain child Vikram sarabhai . In 1963  kalam went to NASA facility in USA ( Maryland) as part if a training program  of rocket launching  techniques. There he came across a painting which depicts Tipu sultan rocket  warfare against British.

The book covers lot of ‘Behind the scenes’ information and technical details about missile program and Indian satellitesatellite,  ( SLV – 3, prithvi, agni, Akash, thrishul, nag etc. ) Space and missile program  are a huge project and managi g them is extremely challenge. The book does give a clear glimpse of the participatory management technique adopted by APJ Abdul kalam. But it had not be explained in  the book.

Wings of fire covers klaam sir personal life only briefly which is strange fir an autobiography . Kalam sir is a poet and I am a huge fan of his poetry.  The book contain many of his poem and some of the words and phrases  get attached with my heart.

Through wings of fire, I had seen many great personality Vikram sarabhai and Dr. Brahm prakash  . The book also contain  almost 23  photos. While seeing that photo and kalam’s  poetry I fell to be very proud and I wanted kalam sir be live.

One of the thing that stands through out the book is kalam’s positive thinking. He held many high rankings  in various organization .  The secret to his success seems to his ability to ignore  negative things around him. The book also gives the popularity of India .

“APJ Abdul kalam was simple ,  secular  inspiring humanitarian”

Table of Contents

About Author- Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam was born on 15 October 1931 and died on 27 July 2015. He was the eleventh President of India (2002-2007), and also knows as “THE MISSILE MAN OF INDIA” within and outside India.

Being a great Aerospace Scientist, he was a great politician too. Dr Kalam spent his early years in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu. Later he moved to Ramnathpuram and Chennai for higher studies.

He studied physics and aerospace engineering and worked as a scientist at Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).

Dr Kalam contributed to military missile development efforts and India’s civilian space program. The development of ballistic missile and launch vehicle technology earned him the title of MISSILE MAN OF INDIA.

As a human, Dr Kalam has been benevolent throughout his life. We find him keen to learn and grow. He did not have in himself a tinge of pride.

Dr. Kalam possessed a sense of compassion and gratitude for whosoever crossed his path. Not only did science but he also delved into literature.

Dr. Kalam held profound affection for his motherland. The support and blessings of his family, friends and mentors allowed him to step up. He received many prestigious awards including Padma Bhushan and Bharata Ratna Award.

While delivering a lecture At the Indian Institute of Management (Shillong), he collapsed and left for the heavens.

Wings of Fire- Book Review

Orientation.

The Wings of Fire throws light on the life of Dr Kalam. The story of a dreamer, who rose from rags to riches. The division of the text into four segments helps the reader to understand each section in a better way. The first segment deals with the childhood of the visionary.

He holds immense respect for his family, friends and mentors. The walk with Ahmed Jalaluddin is among the best memories of his childhood.

Dr. Kalam earned his first wages with the help of his cousin Samsuddin. The depiction of close-knit relations among people of different religions is pleasing.Once at school, Kalam became a victim of religious bigotry. The new teacher asked Kalam not to sit with a Hindu boy. The teacher was later, made to apologize.

Another teacher of Kalam invited him for dinner at his place. The teacher’s wife denied serving a Muslim boy in her holy kitchen. Kalam was then, served the food by his teacher. The teacher called him again for dinner. This time the wife of the teacher served the meal to him. Dr. Kalam’s mother inculcated in his kindness and faith in good. He inherited from his father self-discipline and honesty.

His sister sold her gold jewellery to pay his fees. People around Kalam were noble and kind. They believed in the little seagull who aimed at flying.

This segment of Wings of Fire includes Kalam’s further education and work experience. At Ramnathpuram, his faculty Professor Iyer made him understand the importance of desire, belief and hope.

After completing his Bachelors in Physics in 1950, he discovered that physics does not interest him. He moved to Chennai and enrolled himself at Madras Institute of Technology.

Dr. Kalam studied Aerospace engineering and worked as a trainee engineer at Hindustan Aeronautical Limited. He got interviewed for both the Air Force and the Directorate of Technical Development and Production, DTD&P(Air), at the Ministry of Defense.

His dream of flying got shattered. The rejection from Air Force left him numb. He met Swami Sivananda who told him to believe in the journey and keep moving ahead.

A few years later, the transfer at ADE in Bangalore offered him the designation of director. There, he worked at project Nandi.

Professor Sarabhai took his interview at ICSR. Professor Sarabhai influenced Kalam the most. He served as a rocket engineer at ICSR. In 1962, NASA welcomed Kalam for the training of rocket launching.

Launched on 21 November 1963 the first Indian Rocket brought success to him. Under the supervision of Professor Vikram Sarabhai, Kalam headed the project of a Satellite Launch Vehicle.

The demise of Professor Sarabhai left Kalam in a state of utter shock. Dr Kalam titled him as the Father of Indian Science. The project of SLV brought disappointment to him. The successful launch of SLV took place on 18 July 1980.

Propitiation and Contemplation

These last two sections provide us with a picture of an established Kalam. He receives many awards during this tenure.

Dr. Kalam feels agitated when he does not find his father, mother, Jalaluddin, and Prof. Sarabhai to celebrate his achievements. He envisions a technologically developed India. He toils day and night to make his dream come true.

The third section covers the years between 1980 to1991. After many struggles, Kalam gets appointed as a Director in DRDL in 1982.

Anna University, Madras confers the honorary degree of Doctor of Science on him. With the successful development of Ballistic Missiles, he gains the title of Missile Man of India.

The government of India honoured him with Padma Bhushan on 26 January 1981. The twenty-four picture plates keep a reader entertained.

Kalam’s contribution to some important technological developments is noteworthy. As a rocket scientist, he worked for the triumphant launch of SLV3, AGNI, TRISHUL, AKASH and NAG missiles.

The last section covers the later years of Kalam’s life. Dr Brahm Prakash played an important role in shaping his leadership skills.

Kalam held respect and integrity for his seniors. He mentions his vision for a proud India. He attains many honours and awards for his performance and talks about his dream for the year 2020.

In the epilogue, we get details about his three major scientific establishments. These establishments are Space, Defense Research and Atomic Energy. There is so much like this in the book, but you need to read the wings of fire book review to get the actual insights.

My Understanding of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam from The Wings of Fire

Dr. Kalam was a virtuous man. With his feet on the ground, he aspires to touch the sky. He was a great visionary. His contributions to India are huge. He worshipped science.

Dr. Kalam proved to the world that the union of science and faith is possible. He was a “spiritual scientist”, and a remarkable leader.

Dr. Kalam knew how to keep his team tact. He made sure that everyone has equal participation in the project. The most motivating aspect about him is his will to never give up.

He dreamed of a self-sufficient India. Dr. Kalam believed in producing “swadeshi” equipment rather than purchasing from other countries.

Dr. Kalam viewed the potential in India to develop her own rockets and satellites. Further, he laid the foundation for missile technology in India, and attained the title of Missile Man of India.

As a young man, he was eager to learn. His reminiscence of Rameswaram was among his best memories.

He had many well-wishers including his family, friends and mentors. They had faith in the boy’s dream. Kalam possessed gratitude and kindness. His father’s blessing was rendered as a support for him.

Dr. Kalam was an honest, self – disciplined and laborious human. He never fears working hard irrespective of any situation.

People used to adore him for his courage and determination. He was a commendable poet and was a man of morals and values.

What did I like the Most in Wings of Fire?

The narration of the text is praiseworthy. The language used by the writer is simple. It seems that the author is talking straightway to the reader.

The initial chapters of the book are very intriguing. The description of the natural beauty of Rameswaram is pictorial. Readers get a chance to walk around the lanes of Rameswaram. We come across how religious bigotry gets imbibed in young minds.

The representation of communal harmony is heavenly. The morals mentioned are a grooming session for everyone.

A burning desire in Kalam to do something is propelling. They tell us how delicate and essential our relationships are. He valued the people around him.

Something that I liked the most is poems. Dr. Kalam was quite fond of poems. The mention of different stanzas of poems at the end of the paragraph adds to its beauty.

Kalam’s use of the poem gives a shining effect to the text. His devotion to science is also notable. Dr. Abdul Kalam was a humble man. His life has something to teach everyone. The struggles of Kalam are genuine and may leave you in tears. I would suggest you to before purchasing the book, prefer reading the Wings of Fire Book Review so that you can understand the autobiography better.

Wings of Fire Book Quotes

“Adversity always presents opportunities for introspection.” “The importance of the peak lies only in the fact that it defines the sides.” “Within the mind are all the resources required for successful living. Ideas are present in the consciousness, which when released and given scope to grow and take shape, can lead to successful events.” “To succeed in life and achieve results, you must understand and master three mighty forces— desire, belief, and expectation.” “We are all born with a divine fire in us. Our efforts should be to give wings to this fire and fill the world with the glow of its goodness”.

book review of wings on fire

On a mission to find a fantasy book series to rival my love of Harry Potter, I received many recommendations for the Wings of Fire series by Tui T. Sutherland. Several times I considered starting it, but would put it back thinking it might be too childish (it is, after all, a series aimed at readers in grades 4-6). Finally, I decided to put my trust in all those recommendations – and it’s a decision I don’t regret. If you’re looking for your next  middle-grade fantasy series to binge-read, look no further than Wings of Fire. It would also make an excellent addition to your classroom library collections for your fantasy-loving students. The series has been hailed across the internet as a solid mix of Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, and I have to agree. Be prepared for lots of humor, adventure, magic, hints of dystopia, action-packed scenes, and even a bit of very light, endearing romance from time to time. There’s a reason there are now 15 books, along with several novellas and prequels, a Netflix series on its way , and more graphic novel editions coming…simply put, this series is fantastically addicting and extremely well written.

Tui T. Sutherland so very gently builds the world these characters live in that it is never overwhelming. The first set of characters we meet in the initial five books — Clay, Starflight, Glory, Sunny, and Tsunami — have grown up isolated in a cave their entire childhood, becoming more like family than members of five different (extremely competitive) tribes. These young dragons have been hidden away because they are part of a mysterious and cryptic prophecy to end a war. But when they escape the cave to take on their destiny, they experience the world outside for the first time. The reader gets a front-row seat to all the dragonets’ first experiences outside the cave, and this serves as our introduction to the land of Pyrrhia and what it’s like to be a dragon here, such as Clay’s first time spreading his wings to truly fly:

He tucked his wings close to his body, fighting back the terror as he plummeted. Wind whistled past his face – wind! He’d imagined it all wrong. It was like a live thing: grabbing his tail to throw him off balance, whisking in his eyes to blind him, flaring under his wings to slow him down. It seemed to dig icicle-sharp claws into his skin, slicing under his scales…Would he be able to stop? Would it hurt when he did?”

— Excerpt from  Chapter 9, The Dragonet Prophecy

The character and world-building in this series is done at a suitable pace for younger readers (fourth grade and up) or anyone new to the fantasy genre. However, it is still rich enough for those accustomed to more robust fantasy literature. Books 6-10 (The Jade Mountain Prophecy) introduce us to a new set of characters. The third arc, books 11-15 (The Lost Continent Prophecy), takes us to a completely new continent with new dragon tribes – and this is when all the previous storylines seamlessly collide. One more book is set to release this April and will complete this third prophecy’s storyline.

At first introduction, most of the characters have stereotypical qualities: the always-hungry, somewhat brutish and not-so-bright Clay, the beautifully moody Glory, and later in the series we have the book-smart, glasses-wearing Cricket. However, you find through each book’s alternating first person perspective that there is much more personality under the surface, and every character fights back against their stereotypical labels and works through their own biases of others. Each character has a well-explored past that has shaped their personality. Although they are from vastly different dragon tribes with unique special powers and abilities, each tribe’s culture and values mirror very familiar-feeling human cultural differences.  Ultimately, this idea encompasses the themes of the entire Wings of Fire series: understanding, empathy, acceptance of those who are different than you, and challenging your own assumptions.

Sutherland balances the inner monologues of the characters with plenty of swift action and witty dialogue (lots of laugh-out-loud moments). She does not rely on predictable plotlines – each story is equally satisfying and surprising. Sprinkled throughout the book are amusing dragonish colloquialisms and slang that somehow seem completely normal (“on the other talon,” “three moons!,” and “not the sharpest claw on the dragon”). Plus, it’s as if the author really is a dragon; the descriptions of the sensations they feel against their scales, or when they’re breathing frostbreath, or even just lying in the mud are so realistic you forget dragons don’t actually exist.

It’s worth noting that these  books are meant to be read in order, so make sure to begin with book one: The Dragonet Prophecy .  Some of the side stories (like the Legends prequels and Winglets collections) are best when read after you’ve completed the first ten books in the series.

In your classroom, the Wings of Fire series would be excellent choices for First Chapter Fridays, classroom read-alouds, or to use as models of descriptive writing or dialogue. Plus, the graphic novel editions (which are gradually being released) have stunning artwork and don’t cut out too many details, and they’re perfect to hook your reluctant readers.

Consider adding Wings of Fire to your upper elementary and middle school collections – or on any book shelf next to Harry Potter.

The dragonet prophecy — “wings of fire” series.

book review of wings on fire

Readability Age Range

  • Scholastic Press, an imprint of Scholastic Inc.

Year Published

The Dragonet Prophecy by Tui T. Sutherland has been reviewed by Focus on the Family’s marriage and parenting magazine . It is the first book in the “Wings of Fire” series.

Plot Summary

In this book, the characters are dragons, and a war rages between the dragon tribes in the land of Pyrrhia. According to prophecy, the bloodshed will only cease when five remarkable dragonets, young dragons, are born and trained to stop the fighting.

A group of dragons called the Talons of Peace seeks to fulfill the prophecy by collecting five special eggs, born on the brightest night. The dragonets must come from the tribes of the SeaWings, NightWings, SkyWings, MudWings and SandWings. But one of the warring queens purposely breaks the SkyWing egg, causing the dragonet caretakers to make a last minute change of plans. Though it is outside the prophecy, they quickly substitute a RainWing egg.

The story picks up six years later and is told through the eyes of a dragonet named Clay. He and his friends, Tsunami, Sunny, Starflight and Glory (the RainWing dragonet) live beneath a mountain. They are under the care and training of the Talons of Peace supporters, dragons named Kestrel, Dune and Webs. When the dragonets decide to escape from the cave where they live, they and their guardians are captured by Scarlet, the fierce SkyWing queen. Scarlet makes her prisoners battle in an arena. She pits them against her champion, a dragon named Peril, whose mere touch sets others ablaze. Despite their strained circumstances, Peril and Clay become friends.

The dragonets make several thwarted escape attempts. Scarlet puts Kestrel on trial, and Peril discovers Kestrel is her mother. Burn, one of the hopefuls to be queen of the SandWings, visits Scarlet. When they learn Scarlet plans to give Sunny to Burn as a gift, the dragonets are all the more anxious to escape. Queen Scarlet puts on an elaborate show for her guests by pitting some of the dragonets against one another in the arena. When the excitement doesn’t satisfy her, she puts Clay and Peril together to fight. They battle, trying to figure out how not to kill each other. At a critical moment, Glory attacks Scarlet with her powerful poison. The dragonets, with Peril’s help, make their escape. They invite Peril to join them, but she feels she has work to do on herself before she can be the dragon of her destiny.

Clay and Glory choose to search for Clay’s parents. They find his mother, a disinterested dragon that had sold her egg because she didn’t need it. Though Clay is disappointed that his mother doesn’t care to know him, he is pleased to meet his siblings. Clay comes to realize that to fulfill his destiny, he must be himself, take care of his friends and find a way to fulfill the prophesy.

Christian Beliefs

Other belief systems.

Different types of dragons have special powers. NightWings, for example, can read minds, see the future and deliver prophesies. When the dragonets try to escape from Kestrel, they wonder if they need a magic word, talisman or the aid of an animus dragon. Animus dragons were supposed to have power over objects. Dragons in the stadium think the arrival of the dragonets is an omen. Everything the dragonets are taught about the outside world comes from Talons of Peace scrolls. Clay prays hard, meaning he’s trying to communicate telepathically into the minds of other MudWings.

Authority Roles

Queen Scarlet and Burn both demonstrate violence and cruelty toward their underlings, taking pleasure in observing bloody battles between their prisoners. Kestrel raises the dragonets without love or kindness. She behaves with ambivalence even when she learns Peril is her daughter. Clay’s birth mother admits to having sold his egg and says she doesn’t know who fathered him. She shows no love for or even interest in him when he appears at her door.

Profanity & Violence

The word heck appears once.

Heads of prey bounce across the grass. Blood spurts and pours out of headless bodies. Dragons lash at each other with their claws, tearing and ripping into each others’ flesh and wings and gouging into open scars. Chilling cracks are often heard as dragons break each others’ necks or bones. Peril scorches, melts and scars others, leaving disfiguring burns. Glory’s poison disintegrates other dragons; the poison eats into their open wounds. Bloody, rotting dragon corpses litter the ground after several battles. Dragons and dragon eggs are often pushed or dropped from high places to kill them.

Queen Scarlet punishes a SeaWing dragon that refuses to fight, making it go without water for months. The slow dehydration leaves the dragon desperate, mentally unstable and ready for battle.

Sexual Content

Clay’s mother tells him she doesn’t know who fathered him. She says their tribe has a breeding night once a month. Then everyone returns to his or her own sleeping quarters.
