Description
'A joy to read!' Sophie Anderson
'The perfect gift for a curious child' Louie Stowell
'Beautiful, breathtaking' Hannah Gold
A linked collection of contemporary adventure stories for 7+ readers - inspired by the starling's migratory journey - infused with courage, resilience, empathy and hope.
A story collection reflecting an important part of every child's life. Five children in different parts of the world are connected by the captivating flight of starling murmurations. A runaway, a rescue, a desert drama, from Egypt to Morocco, across Spain and France, the starlings swoop and dive, glide and soar - as the children watching them begin their own journeys.
Illustrated in striking black and orange with illustrations on every page.
