A great beginner's boomerang, small and light for easy throwing and catching, with a distinctive hovering descent at the end of the return flight. The Firefly does great with distance, at a flight range of 40 meters.

Michael Lewis's investigation of bubbles beyond our shores is so brilliantly, sadly hilarious that it leads the American reader to a comfortable complacency: oh, those foolish foreigners. But when he turns a merciless eye on California and Washington, DC, we see that the narrative is a trap baited with humor, and we understand the reckoning that awaits the greatest and greediest of debtor nations.
