Swan Song - Author Gill Lewis

Sometimes you have to lose your way to find your voice.

After being excluded from school, Dylan is sent to live with his grandad in a remote Welsh village. With no internet and no friends, things feel hopeless — until Grandad introduces him to the whooper swans. Out on the lake, Dylan reconnects with himself and the natural world. But just as things begin to settle, a tragic turn threatens both the swans and his family. Can Dylan find the strength to fight for what matters?
