This vividly imagined and well-written novel (Booklist, starred review) tells a gripping story about a boy from Scotland and a girl from West Africa who join together to save a migrating Ospreyand end up saving each other.When Callum spots crazy Iona Mc Nair on his familys sprawling property, shes catching a fish with her bare hands. She wont share the fish, but does share something else: a secret. Shes discovered a rare endangered bird, an Osprey, and its clear to both her and Callum that if anyone finds out about the bird, it, and its species, is likely doomed. Poachers, egg thieves, and wild weather are just some of the threats, so Iona and Callum vow to keep track of the bird and check her migratory progress using the code a preservationist tagged on her ankle, no matter what. But when one of them can no longer keep the promise, its up to the other to do it for them both. No matter what. Set against the dramatic landscapes of Scotland and West Africa, this is a story of unlikely friendships, the wonders of the wildand the everyday leaps of faith that set our souls to flight.
