The Flying Boy is a book written by Sean Wheeler and published through CreateSpace.

It's about a boy named Jeremy Floeter who drank an anti-gravity potion causing him to fly.


This book contains examples of

  • Big Bad: Doctor Andy Paigne was an evil scientist who wanted Jeremy's powers.
  • Damsel in Distress: Amy Simpson was kidnapped by Dr. Paigne and locked on the thirteenth floor of PainLabs as bait for Jeremy.
  • Flight:
    • Jeremy gains the ability to fly after drinking the Anti-Gravity Potion.
    • A room in the Space Center is full of flying tourists.
  • Fun with Acronyms: M.E.T.A. stands for Mutation Encyclopedic Testing Association.
  • Godhood Seeker: Dr. Paigne wants to create a serum to give him enough powers to be a god and take over the world.
  • Jerkass: Eugene "Knuckles" Bitterman was a big boy who liked to bully people. He laughed at Jeremy struggling in the Onion Room, and unscrewed the seat in the Spinner Room so that it would nearly break when Jeremy was on it. And he forced a whole gallon of Anti-Gravity Potion down Jeremy's throat so that he would be flying for his whole life.
  • The Stinger: Right as Jeremy and Amy are about to have their date, Agent Rex McCool invites Jeremy to join the Justicers.
  • Sunglasses at Night: Rex McCool always wears sunglasses, even at night.
