Birdlands
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?
Rook
In the shadow of a bully, a rescued rook becomes a symbol of hope in this poignant, Carnegie Medal shortlisted novella about growing up and family. Shortlisted for the 2018 Carnegie Medal. When Kenny and Nicky rescue a rook left for dead, Kenny is determined to keep it alive.
Nicky doubts the scruffy bird will make it, but then Nicky has plenty else to worry about. This time, it’s not his dad or Kenny who need help – his dad’s sorting his life out and Kenny’s busy making plans with his new best mate. Now it’s Nicky’s turn to struggle – with a school bully, his first love and the fact that everything is about to go very, very wrong.
