Bird Boy

Samenvatting

From the multi-award-winning author of No Ballet Shoes in Syria, comes a story of migration, conservation, healing and hope as a grieving boy forms an unbreakable bond with an injured bird.
 

After the tragic death of his mother, Will is sent to stay with his uncle in the Lake District
until his grandparents in Australia are ready for him to make the long journey south.

Have spent years trapped in a high-rise flat, with only birds for company, Will doesn't know if he'll survive
a place like this - full of endless sky and mountain - where everything is too big, too open, too free...
That is until he discovers an osprey nest, with two small chicks inside.

When tragedy almost strikes again one stormy night, and one of the chicks
is knocked out of the nest - breaking a wing, Will is determined to save her.

Can you heal a broken wing? What about a broken heart?
