Kid

Kid practises his leaps and bounds. He races and jumps and balances. All the time he’s building up his determination to follow his parents, Buck and Bess, the bravest goats of all, beyond the farm into the wild. However to leave the farm means facing up to Farm Law, so that he might never return. What’s more, it means facing up to the glowing eyes of the Beast that follows him, to heavy rainstorms alongside a lack of water. Does Kid have such courage? He’s used to nestling down to Audrey each night, to avoiding her morning egg, to her stories of Buck and Bess. He’s used to conversations with his best friend Harriet, to avoiding Ma as she patrols the farm. Yet Gavin the hawk has seen Buck and Bess. They chased off the fox and headed toward the mountains… Isn’t family everything? Shouldn’t Kid find his parents? Bookwagon loves Peter Carnavas’s beautiful, beautiful storytelling. We recommend Kid so highly to readers of all ages.
