From Carnegie-winning author Anthony McGowan comes another thrilling and heartbreaking animal adventure. An unlikely flock. The adventure of a lifetime. Life can be tough when you’re a bird, especially for Beaky, Herman and Pidge.
With the young jackdaw’s twisted beak, the crow’s broken wing and the pigeon’s fear of flying, survival seems impossible. Until, that is, they band together. The trio set out into the wild, leaving the city far behind.
But danger lurks at every turn… Will the three birds ever find a place they can call home?
