Trevor has no idea that he is gifted as a spellboda, and can communicate with birds and animals. The single clue is a glow around him, which only animals and other spellbodas can see. Trevor's mum died three years ago, and his devastated father holds him responsible. He's unable to show thirteen year old Trevor any love or kindness, only hurt and insults. Trevor has lost faith in people. He copes by choosing not to speak to anyone except Mrs Bingo-Wings, his mum's cat, and he shuts out the world to protect himself.
Trevor has a chance to work with birds of prey when his school organizes a volunteer placement to help him cope with losing his mum. Trevor discovers his ancient gift and makes friends with a Peregrine Falcon in danger from bird smugglers. A unique adventure to freedom for them both begins, as Trevor works out who the thieves are, how to stop them, and he finds out if it's possible to heal and trust again. His magical adventure could promise freedom - for Midge and for himself - but can he overcome his doubts and fears, and take on the destiny he's only just
discovered?
A middle grade story for lovers of magic, mystery, nature and adventure.
