Speed Birds by Alan Snow
When a young crow witnesses the breath-taking speed of the world's fastest bird, the peregrine falcon, he is entranced and dreams travelling just as fast. Fuelled by his imagination and self belief, he works with his fellow crows to build an incredible car, the Speed Bird, and attempts to go faster than any bird has gone before. An inspirational story about working as a team and pursuing your dreams - which also contains easily accessible information about how cars work. Perfect for young readers and can be enjoyed by car enthusiasts of all ages. This stylish and beautiful book is the perfect gift.
Praise for Here Be Monsters: With superb illustrations and a lavishly imaginative plot, Here Be Monsters suggests that Roald Dahl might well have a 21st century successor - and that JK Rowling could have some competition on her hands* The Big Issue *
Praise for Here Be Monsters: Snow's drawings suggest a Dickensian town, and his caricatures with their gormless faces and his lovingly rendered machinery make this book (now a website and film) as much fun to look at as it is to read. * Sunday Times *
