Publisher Description:
Birds don t fly with leads, says thirteen-year-old Avis when confronted by the limitations imposed on her at school. She has epilepsy and some of the teachers want to stop her participating in the sport she loves most. Susan Hawthorne captures the voice and longings of a child at the edge of self-realisation.
This collection draws on the experience of epilepsy mixed with imagination, mythic consciousness and an intense realisation of life."
