Sky Hawk is author Gill Lewis' debut novel, and has received much praise. The front cover bears an endorsement by none other than Michael Morpurgo, who says the book "Opens your eyes, touches your heart, and is so engaging it almost turns the pages for you."
Set in rural Scotland, this is the story of Callum and Iona and an amazing secret they share. It is a moving tale of friendship, loss, hope and incredible journeys.
The group was unanimous in thoroughly enjoying Sky Hawk. They felt that they learned a lot from the book, and were kept on the edge of their seats following the story. They were shocked by an unexpected, sad twist in the tale, but most of them liked the way things resolved themselves by the end.
Here are some words direct from the group:
"I loved it; it was an amazing story." - Ana
"A good book if you like wildlife." - Sam
"Lots of interesting facts that you wouldn't know unless you worked with ospreys." - Lottie
"I couldn't put it down because it's such a great story." - Tabitha
"A brilliant book, especially if you're an animal lover." - Freya H
