The Beck

From Carnegie Medal winning author Anthony McGowan comes an environmental tale packed full of his signature grit, heart and humour, as Kyle and his grandad execute a plan to save the local beck.

Kyle is less than pleased about getting dumped at his eccentric old grandads for the day, but a whole new world opens up to him when hes introduced to the marvels that can be found in the beck at the bottom of his grandads garden.

Once filthy and full of rubbish, the beck has been cleaned up and is now full of amazing creatures. But this magical world is under threat from a new development.

Kyles grandad is determined to stop the builders, but when he falls ill, Kyle decides to carry out the plan himself, finding courage and new friends along the way.
