Book description
'He saw on man raise his weapon and take aim at him... and, the next
instant, felt a fierce sear of pain in his right thigh...'
The fox cub Bold has left the sheltered life of the nature reserve
determined to make his way in the world. But, exulting in his
new-found freedom, he becomes reckless. And now he lies badly wounded
by a hunter's bullet. Can Bold survive - lamed and unable to hunt - in
the harsh environment of the real world he so eagerly entered? Winter
is coming and friends are hard to find . . .
Colin Dann won the Arts Council National Award for Children's
