Ride the Wind

A beautiful, heartfelt story from the author of King of the Sky and The Promise. Javier has a secret. On one of his fatherâEUR(TM)s fishing-trips, he finds an albatross caught on the hooks; alive, if only barely. Against his fatherâEUR(TM)s orders, Javier smuggles the bird to safety and begins nursing it back to health. Every day, the albatross accepts a little more food âEUR" but she shows no sign of wanting to use her wings. And if Javier's new friend refuses to fly, how will she ever find her way home? With words by award-winning author Nicola Davies and dramatic watercolours by Salvatore Rubbino, this is the story of a boy, a bird and the meaning of home. "Nicola Davies is one of the best children's writers in the business." Huffington Post
