The majestic Osprey is an endangered bird that hasn't been seen in
Scotland for years, so when Iona McNair locates an Osprey nest, she's
desperate to keep the bird safe from poachers. She shares her secret
with her classmate Callum, and the two become friends as they work to
save the Osprey they've named Isis. They're able to get the bird tagged
by a preservationist, but after Isis flies to Africa for the winter, her
signal becomes stagnant, then lost. Spurred by a promise to Iona, who
has fallen ill, Callum is determined to track and save Isis, and a leap
of faith and the magic of e-mail connects him with a girl in Gambia who
can help him make good--in more ways than one.
Set against the dramatic landscapes of Scotland and West Africa, this is
a timeless tale of hope and friendship--a heartwarming novel infused
with the beauty of nature.
