'A joy to read!' Sophie Anderson
'The perfect gift for a curious child' Louie Stowell
'Beautiful, breathtaking' Hannah Gold
A linked collection of contemporary adventure stories for 7+ readers - inspired by the starling’s migratory journey - infused with courage, resilience, empathy and hope.
A story collection reflecting an important part of every child's life. Five children in different parts of the world are connected by the captivating flight of starling murmurations. A runaway, a rescue, a desert drama, from Egypt to Morocco, across Spain and France, the starlings swoop and dive, glide and soar - as the children watching them begin their own journeys.
Illustrated in striking black and orange with illustrations on every page.©2025 A. M. Dassu (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

'Accessible and beautifully written short adventure stories for 7+ year olds... Bold black and orange illustrations appear throughout this sparkling collection, perfect for reading aloud and for KS2 classroom libraries'
‘These stories make us pause to consider how individuals and larger communities interact, and how journeys and migration are an integral part of life, for all living creatures. A moving and uplifting collection.’
‘[A] heartfelt exploration of migration, courage, and what it can mean to call something 'home', written with the perfect blend of compassion and adventure that we have come to associate with A.M. Dassu.’
