Lukas dreams of flying. He wishes for nothing more than a pair of wings. But instead, his mother hands him a book. That's when Lukas begins to read. Then he reads another book and then another, until he eventually finds himself sitting on a tall pile of books: the highest mountain of books in the world. There, Lukas realizes that he has long held the fulfillment of his greatest wish in his hands: the books take him on journeys to distant lands, fantastic worlds, and soaring heights.
