But when his brother gives him an air rifle for his birthday and he shoots a hawk, he soon learns that shooting live creatures is very different to shooting cans on the wall. A powerful tale of growing up and gaining responsibility. One of a series of titles for young people exploring identity and personal and family issues in a rural setting, mediated through interactions with animals and the natural world.
