Description

"'Freedom is best, even with all its dangers.' In this heart-pounding adventure, a young finch falls from his family's nest and into the life of a young boy and his father. The finch spends a harrowing night in a cage, barely escaping the clutches of a barn owl, and other threats. The next day, the boy offers the bird an unexpected chance at freedom. Will he take it"--Provided by publisher.

Reviews

The profound beauty of Federico Delicado's natural prints, with that style that only he knows how to impress on all his creations, dotted with hyper-realistic close-ups of the different types of birds, and the moving simplicity with which Sobrino has woven the story, both turn this little great adventure into a dazzling tale, with the makings of a classic, that will thrill children and adults alike. --Canal Lector
