Praise for this book
Colm Hearnes fantasy about forest animals and birds reads with pace full of intrigue and mystery. The relationship between characters in a family or community are authentic. Outdoor scenes and especially the battles are easily visualised. The Lost Brother is a great read to young children and for older children of reading age. Phil Carrick
