Bird (Paperback)

Captain Jacky is a notorious jackdaw who lives by the lakes at Pool Bridge Farm, where she spends her time pestering its wild swimmers and stealing their jewellery.
But one day, she suddenly vanishes into thin air, leaving her friends on the farm to fear the worst.
Terrified, locked up and surrounded by hook-beaks, Captain Jacky endures two weeks in captivity before reappearing back at the lakes. On her return, she astounds her friends with a story about the most incredible adventure - one that will go on to change their lives forever.
Inspired by true events, this tale of friendships and freedom is interwoven with humour, passion and a crow’s eye view of how the world works.
