to order

The KiteTaylor is hand-rearing a red kite in secret. The bird is endangered, but not everyone wants to protect it. Taylor's father is a gamekeeper, and his employer wants the kite dead. Taylor's family will lose everything if his dad doesn't obey orders and destroy the bird.

NOTE: Mevin Burgess writes novels for mature youngsters. His imaginative fiction is very realistic and graphic, confronting the modern world as it is. Junk, for instance, documents drug abuse by its teenage characters.
