EDC Publishing - The Hunt for the Nightingale

Ten-year-old Jasper has been waiting all spring for his beloved nightingale to return to his garden and sing. But it's not there, and neither is his sister, Rosie. His parents seem sad and preoccupied, so gathering his courage, his backpack and his treasured Book of Birds, Jasper sets out alone on a walk to find them both. The expedition takes Jasper through town and country, meeting a host of characters who are also searching for lost things. As he helps each of his new friends, Jasper begins to realize that while he may not find what he is looking for at the journey's end, even in the darkest of moments a nightingale's song can be heard somewhere. The Hunt for the Nightingale will have you turning the last page with tears in your eyes and a heart full of hope. For fans of Pax, Wonder and Wild Child.
