Secrets of the Shield
by Brian Kelsall
In the remote wilderness of the Canadian Shield, eleven-year-old Sam lives a peaceful, quiet life—until Wing arrives.
Sam’s intrigued by the Indigenous girl who has come to stay with his family for the summer. She’s quiet and seemingly good at everything. But after a chilling run-in with a reclusive neighbor, Sam and Wing uncover a shared secret from their past—the truth about the tragedy that took Wing’s parents nine years ago and altered Sam’s life irrevocably—and a danger far greater than either could imagine.
As the threat closes in, Sam and Wing find unexpected allies: an order of ancient beavers led by the mysterious Masata and Kyree, a magnificent birdlike creature who seems to know their destinies. Together, they must prepare to face a terrible evil in an epic battle for the survival of the planet.
Perfect for fans of Impossible Creatures and Beyond the Bright Sea, Brian Kelsall’s Secrets of the Shield is a page-turning tale of courage, friendship, love, and tenacity—even when all seems lost.
