Wild Wings!

Max the Meerkat
They say you can't judge a book by its' cover, but Wild Wings, the debut juvenile fiction novel by Gill Lewis caught my eye right away! And I was not disappointed by what I saw inside!
So, what do Scotland, sheep farming, nature, wildlife, and edge-of-your-seat suspense have in common? You can find them all in Wild Wings. It's a story about two Scottish kids who make a wonderful discovery on Callum's Farm. They make a pact to keep the discovery a secret. How this story unfolds is an amazing journey into the hearts and minds of humans and animals alike; a story I will never forget! At the end of the book the author lists some great sites you can check out online to find out more about the amazing animals in this book. What animals, you ask? Shhh...it's a secret. You'll just have to read Wild Wings, by Gill Lewis, to find out!
