Kite

;The kite was like a kind of angel in his mind. So rare… so big… so beautiful!; Taylor is hand-rearing a red kite in secret. The bird is endangered, but not everyone wants to protect it. Taylor’s father is a gamekeeper, and his employer wants the kite dead. Taylor’s family will lose everything if his dad doesn’t obey orders and destroy the bird. ‘It’s a really nail-biting story that leaves you feeling thrilled. You can’t put it down.’ Adam Smith, aged 13 ‘A writer of the highest quality with exceptional powers of insight.’ Sunday Times
