Come join the journey… “Hold this tightly!” The old man handed the rope to Kody, ignoring the loud noises made by the eagle, which was enjoying its taste of freedom. Kody felt a blast of air from the eagle’s flapping wings, and although his hands were shaking, he held onto the rope with all his might. His grandfather was busy tying the end of the rope to the basket. They repeated the action six times and by the time they were finished, three large eagles were tied to each basket and Kody’s fear of the giant birds had virtually disappeared. But at that moment Jimmy flew up with a shriek, heralding the approach of Larius’ men, the sound of horses’ hooves pounding in the distance. “They’re coming!” whispered his grandfather, his hands shaking. Kody’s eyes widened and he froze in terror. ————- Why is Kodiel so different from all the boys in the village? What is the secret his father has been keeping from him?
