David and the Phoenix

The mountain seems to smile at David—and, as he waits to climb, a speck wheels above its glowing peak. Then, on a hidden ledge, he hears someone talking to himself. Who could be up there?

In the mountains near his family’s new home, David sets out as an explorer, discovering secret meadows, strange rocks and a voice behind a thicket. There he comes face to face with a bird no book could have prepared him for: a huge phoenix, bright with scarlet, gold, silver and sapphire feathers. Their meeting draws David into the company of legendary creatures—and into the path of a determined scientist who is pursuing the bird. Can David help his remarkable new friend stay out of the scientist’s grasp?
