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”

Wings of fire book review: a.p.j. abdul kalam’s autobiography.
Wings of Fire is an inspiring autobiography of the most respectable Former President of India – Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. Dr Kalam along with Ankit Tiwari pens down the journey of a young boy and developing India. If you are interested in reading the life lessons of Mr Kalam, you must read Wings of Fire Book Review available here.
The book is very impactful and influential. Published in 1999, Wings of Fire and “India 2020: A Vision For the New Millennium” became very popular. This book deals with every essential aspect of Kalam’s life. The text takes us through the ups and downs faced by Kalam sir before tasting the success.
It also involves the moral lessons which we should adopt in our lives. It has something for both academic and non-academic readers. Wings of Fire divides into four segments – Orientation, Creation, Propitiation, and Contemplation. These divided sections enable the reader an easier comprehension of the text.
While, it serves with the vivid description of Rameswaram, and also pictures the developing nation. It is an intensive portrayal of rising of Kalam. At the same time, the birth of AGNI, TRISHUL and NAG missiles have become household names in India. These missiles have allowed international acknowledgement to India.
The autobiography makes us believe in the power of dreams, Belief and Hope. Dr Kalam tells how with determination and consistency one can achieve anything. By reading the Wings of Fire Book Review, you will get a sound knowledge about what it contains and what you are going to learn.
It is a very encouraging tale of honourable Dr Abdul Kalam. We find the book translated and published into thirteen languages. Globally, it is available to read in French and Chinese languages.
Table of Contents
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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:
— 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
