Flying Free

By Nicola Davies

This series of Country Tales stories by Nicola Davies are complimented by charming and emotive line drawings by Cathy Fisher, the collaboration behind CILIP Greenaway Medal longlisted titles Perfect and The Pond. In Flying Free, Colin lives with his mom and big brother and is in a hurry to grow up. But when his brother gives him an air rifle for his birthday and he shoots a hawk, he soon learns that shooting live creatures is very different to shooting cans on the wall. A powerful tale of growing up and gaining responsibility. One of a series of titles for young people exploring identity and personal and family issues in a rural setting, mediated through interactions with animals and the natural world.
