About this listen

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.

I just couldn’t get on with the voice but overall I love the book and it was quite nice but sad

Amazing but

A story of chance meetings and the changes they can bring. This is an excellently written story ostensibly about an Osprey, but actually about the people who she connects. The people are so well written you could almost reach out and touch them.

Excellent easy read for adults and for children over 10 whilst being mindful the story does include loss.

This book covers a multitude of topics from bullying to responsibility.

I highly reccomend this book for children and anyone who has been a child... 😁

Outstanding.

What a wonderful book - heart-warming, heart-breaking, mesmerising! Full of carefully researched detail about ospreys and sensitively interwoven with deeply human connections and relationships, this book is captivating. I read a lot of children’s books, so I’m really not sure what took me so long to get around to this one. Better late than never… Sky Hawk is brilliant!

A captivating story, beautifully told!

Our family listened to this book in the car on our 2022 summer holidays. It is a brilliant book but sad in places (someone dies). The narrator John Vice is amazing and his accents are spot on (couldn't believe he wasn't Scottish!)
Definitely want to read more Gill Lewis books now!

Moving and inspirational story
