From a silent perch in the upper branches of a great tree, a huge and mysterious bird known as the Skymaster watches over Godhanger Wood ... watches the innocent blood shed daily by the cruel gamekeeper. And when the birds determine to save themselves, the gamekeeper finds himself locked in a deadly battle of wills with the greatest prize of all at stake - the Skymaster himself. But there can be only one winner...

This powerful and dramatic tale from the bestselling and award-winning author, Dick King-Smith, will be recognised by Christians as full of the themes of the gospel story, with Jesus as the Skymaster, who gives his life for the birds and animals of the Wood. An excellent, darkly atmospheric, and thought-provoking story for older children.
