Bobbie is really excited when she spots her first rare Golden Eagle flying near her family farm. She spends her free time walking the hills looking out for the bird, watching it fly and catching its prey. But the bird is in danger of being shot by the local grouse farmer and she is determined to keep it protected. Not only must she fight the local residents but also her family’s wish to send her to boarding school.

I really recommend this book to students in Years 7 & 8 who love animals and prefer shorter books.  It’s an interesting story with lots of emotion and easy to read.
