Synopsis

Shortlisted for The CILIP Carnegie Medal 2018

A poignant, beautifully written novella about growing up and family.

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 – a school bully, his first love, and the fact that everything is about to go very, very wrong.

A companion piece to the hugely successful Brock and Pike, McGowan warms hearts once more with the adventures of Nicky and Kenny.

Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 13+
