A moving animal adventure about survival, friendship and finding a place to belong Life is tough for Beaky, Herman and Pidge. Beaky is a young jackdaw with a twisted beak, Herman is a crow with a broken wing, and Pidge is a pigeon who is terrified of flying. Alone, each bird is struggling to survive but together, they form an unlikely flock. When Herman tells them about a place where food is plentiful, the three friends leave the city behind and follow the setting sun. Their journey is filled with danger, but courage, loyalty and friendship may help them find the home they desperately need. Tender, funny and full of heart, Birdlands is an unforgettable animal adventure for readers aged 10+. "Beautifully written, deeply moving and filled with hope, Birdlands by Anthony McGowan is a powerful story about survival, friendship and discovering that even the most vulnerable can find strength in one another.” ~Madeleine
