My Golden Eagle Summer

Dad takes Arden to explore the Scottish island that will soon be their new home, hoping to ease Arden's worries about starting at a new school. They discover lots of exciting wildlife, including a pair of nesting golden eagles with a tiny chick! Over the summer, Arden and Dad watch as the golden eagle chick grows bigger and stronger until, one day, it hops, flaps and makes its first flight from the eyrie. It doesn't make it very far, but Dad says it will keep trying. When it's time for school to start, will Arden be like the little eagle chick and learn to soar? My Golden Eagle Summer is a heartfelt tale of new beginnings, dealing with change and connecting with nature. Catherine Ward, author of By the Beaver Pool, cleverly weaves golden eagle facts into the story to teach young readers about these majestic birds, while Esther Kent's evocative illustrations bring them to life against the backdrop of a charming Scottish island landscape.
