Book Description

Publication Date: 5 Jan 2012
When Callum and his friends find Iona on Callum's farm they try to chase her back into the village. But Iona runs from them up into the hills. It is late and dark and snow lies in the mountain gullies. Worried for Iona's safety, Callum follows to find her shivering with cold but refusing to leave. She is guarding a secret hidden in the forest above the dark waters of the loch. So they make a deal. Iona shares the secret and in return Callum allows her back onto the farm.

They form a deep bond of friendship and make a promise to keep their secret safe. It is a promise that will change Callum's world forever . . .

She turned her head, and fixed me with her brilliant yellow eyes. She looked right into me. And suddenly I knew then, in that one moment, I was as much part of her world as she was of mine.

Soar above the clouds in this enthralling tale of friendship, loyalty, and hope.

Product Description

Review

Opens your eyes, touches your heart, and is so engaging it almost turns the pages for you. (Michael Morpurgo, Former Children's Laureate )

This beautifully written, captivating book should be on everyone's bookcase. Breathtaking. Poignant. Unforgettable. (Virginia McKenna, Founder of the Born Free Foundation )

An edge-of-your-seat wildlife adventure that tells a very human story of friendship, discovery and an incredible journey. I loved it! (Kate Humble, Presenter of BBC's Springwatch and Autumnwatch )

Rich in atmosphere and full of heart, Sky Hawk is an intense and touching story of how protecting a rare bird forges a deep and special friendship between two children . . . Sky Hawk is an enthralling tale about a promise between two friends, Callum and Iona, that will change lives forever, and the power of friendship, loyalty, and hope. A book to treasure. (Julia Eccleshare, Guardian )

I loved Sky Hawk-it's a tremendously assured debut novel and it reminded me very much of the books Michael Morpurgo writes. I can see teachers wanting to share this one with their classes because its themes are simultaneously diverse and universal, but I also think it's a book for all ages to savour at home. Highly recommended. (Jill Murphy (www.thebookbag.co.uk ) )

From the first page I was drawn into this very real novel which has at its heart an ecological message. The characters are truly believable and the language of this novel is poetic and beautiful. For anyone with an interest in wildlife and conservation issues, I would strongly suggest they buy this debut novel by emerging writer Gill Lewis. I hope it won't be her last book! (Charlotte Westwood, 13, First News, The Weekly Newspaper for Kids )

5.0 out of 5 stars A moving and exciting wildlife adventure story 30 May 2011
By SH
Format:Paperback
Sky Hawk is a stunning debut novel. Set in the Highlands of Scotland, it is a poignant story of friendship and how communities strive to protect and understand the wildlife within them. The pace is fast, the characters are real and the tightly-crafted plot takes many twists and turns that keep the reader turning pages to find out what happens next.

This book has been described as a modern classic and I understand why: the central wildlife story is timeless but has been updated and captured on Google Earth; the writing is concise and unsentimental yet addresses poignant themes of loss and adversity and triumph; and the friendships between the children are forged, tested and span all the way across the globe.

There are many scenes and moments that are still vivid in my mind, although I read it all-in-one-gulp a while ago. Gill Lewis is a skilled story-teller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sky Hawk is great! Reviewed by an 8-year old 24 May 2011
By joegg
Format:Paperback
Callum and Iona are sharing a secret, a lovely secret hidden deep in the forest on Callum's farm, where Callum and Iona can look at it every day. Even though this leads to a great friendship, Callum forgets for a while that he has other friends too. After a tragic event, Callum and someone else continue to look after the secret. Reconciliation brings all the friends together again.

I was so into this book that it was like being part of the story, I just slipped into it. And when something really awful happened it was as if this thing happened to my own best friend. When people felt happy, sad or hopeful I felt it too.

At first, I felt a bit frustrated because the characters' appearance isn't really described, but then I started to imagine them for myself and I thought it was much better to do that. I learned a lot from 'Sky Hawk' about wildlife and a bit about Scotland and even other places far away.

I think Sky Hawk would make a great film and there should definitely be a volume 2 because when I finished it I really wanted to continue this wonderful adventure.

It was the best book I have ever read, I couldn't stop reading it. It contains lots of secrets that you can't wait to uncover! I would recommend this book to anyone (girls and boys) between 8 and 12 years old. It's the BEST!
