About this title

Synopsis

Michael Joseph Edition.

From School Library Journal

YA A plucky puffin, Golden Samphire, or Goldie, is the unlikely hero of this animal allegory which combines natural history with a fast-moving adventure in the tradition of Watership Down. Goldie is born on an isolated island to which his mother has fled after she prophetically warned the puffin flock's leader of an invasion by a band of four-legged beasts with sharp teeth. When the prophecy is fulfilled , and the rats devastate the puffins' breeding grounds and nestlings, Goldie, with the help of a few followers, tricks, traps and battles Bubo and the rat pack. Frailties are overcome through trust and faith rather than sheer brawn. Unlikely alliances are formed with the mainland rats to guard each other's territories and fight the common enemy, the island rats. Goldie exhibits high courage, common sense and practical tactics that distinguish him as a puffin hero and future leader. The fast-paced story, full of legends, myths and accurate animal lore and breathtaking nature scenes, is presented from the bird's-eye view, which gives readers a fresh perspective and insight into beliefs that touch everyone.
