Fledger
Nicholas Barrett1986

Not since Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Watership Down has there been a story of spiritual of spiritual quest as compelling and memorable as Fledger. A timeless tale of courage and hope, Fledger draws us into a wondrous world where a seabird called a puffin has lived for millennia with the laws of nature.
Fledger begins with the stark prophecy of a young puffin's mother. She foretells of an army of four-legged beasts with vicious eyes and sharp teeth overrunning Puffin Island and slaughtering the puffin flock. When her warnings are ignored, she leaves her flock and flies to an isolated island to give birth to her son, the fledgling Goldie. And when marauders invade the island, it is Goldie, who through heroic acts of bravery and perseverance, must rescue his fellow puffins from destruction.
Fledger is an authentic tale of nature. But above all, it is a moving story of personal daring and hope.
