Add a CommentA boy develops a crush on ospreys, learns to stand up for others. This is seriously the Scottish, osprey version of Carl Hiaasen's "Hoot." A pleasant and quick read, although not the greatest of books. Good for the kid who likes animals and is ready to graduate from "Animal Ark" to something a bit more complex.
We read this for a mother/daughter bookclub and both my daughter and I agree that this is one of the best books we have read this year!
