review 1: I loved this book. Simple as that. It started quite slowly, with kids poaching fish in a Scottish burn, lambs being fed on a farm, and friends bickering over the things which seem important when you’re ten. And because I was brought up somewhere a bit similar, I stuck with it for a few chapters. But then suddenly the gentle writing got under my skin, the story heated up, and I was gripped. I had started reading it without preconceptions, without even reading the blurb (a great way to read any book, if you can manage it!) so I’m not going to say much about the plot, but I will say that it’s about two children in a Scottish village and two rare birds, about real death and imagined death, about secrets and community, and about another child in another village. This ... morestory’s wings spread all the way from Scotland to Africa, just like the osprey’s annual migration. I started crying on page 100, and barely stopped blowing my nose after that. But I enjoyed every minute of it.
review 2: Sky Hawk by Gill Lewis is about a boy named Callum.One day he meets Iona who tells him an incredible secret.Ospreys are living in the woods beside his farm.Ospreys are endangered and are protected.He and Iona make a promise to keep the ospreys a secret but when Iona dies and the female osprey dissapears halfway through her migration will Callum be able to save the female osprey or will she disapear?I picked this book up because I wanted to see if the books by Gill Lewis were good and they were.I finished Sky Hawk because it was one of the best books, that don't have alot fo action, I've ever read.I would recommend this book to people who likes to read books that are heart warming because this one was. less
