What do superheroes, Spam, "The THING?" Yoda, snipe, Jell-O, flatulence and cancer all have in common? Until now, not much. But, "Flying with Scissors: A Different Perspective on Childhood Cancer" changes all that by weaving these and other unlikely topics into a totally unique look at childhood cancer and the kids who have moved beyond the illness. Having trained under the greatest guru of all-life--these kids are set on reminding us that the world is not made up of problems, but of dreams, hope, and triumph. Hilarious and heartfelt, "Flying with Scissors" takes the personal experiences and insights of children who have battled cancer and turns them into universal truths that relate to each of us. It provides a non-traditional look at a typically solemn topic. "Flying with Scissors" is a resource and companion for anyone close to a child going through the cancer experience. Possibly more importantly, "Flying with Scissors" provides guidance for all of us, valuable insights for living life-every, every day. And, like DC Comics used to say, "It's more fun than a barrel full of genetically-altered winged monkeys!"

"In ancient times, there was an earth-shattering battle. The God And Devil s all perished or entered the cycle of reincarnation. After that shocking battle, the entire world changed. There were only normal living things left in the world. After who knows how many years had passed, the ancient expert began to be revived one after another. The living beings were about to face a great calamity, and the heaven and earth would change once again because of this. If these cruel Devil Clan ruled the world, then these ordinary life forms would be like grass, and would be wantonly slaughtered by the Devil Clan's people.An ancient God Race Expert had successfully reincarnated, but he was an orphan who had been abandoned. Fortunately, he had been adopted by someone with good intentions, placed under someone else, and suffered through many hardships. However, what he did not know was that the people around him were all reincarnations of expert from the Primordial Era. When their souls recovered, how would he face all of this? When he realised that the person he loved the most was the killing machine of Devil Clan, where would he go?"Would he be able to save all the living creatures in the world, turn the tide, and kill off all of the Devil Clan in one fell swoop?"

Poul Jorgensen is perhaps the nation's most prominent fly-tier, teacher of fly tying, and writer on the subject.
