Dive into the thrilling world of Taking Flight, a captivating paperback novel by Sheena Wilkinson. This fast-paced story chronicles the journey of fifteen-year-old Declan, who moves from the gritty streets of West Belfast to the dazzling equestrian world of showjumping. Initially unfamiliar with horses, Declan finds himself unexpectedly drawn to them while staying with his somewhat haughty cousin, Vicky. Vicky, fiercely protective of her prize showjumper named Flight, harbors reservations about Declan's presence and aims to keep him away, creating a compelling narrative filled with rivalry and determination. The novel masterfully explores themes of courage, jealousy, and self-discovery, presenting a realistic portrayal of teenage life and the challenges of navigating complex family dynamics and personal growth. With its authentic characters and engaging plot, Taking Flight is a story that appeals to a broad audience, including those without a specific interest in horses. This exceptional work has been recognized with multiple accolades, including the Bisto Honour Award for Fiction, the Children's Choice Award, and a White Raven Award from the International Youth Library, and was also shortlisted for the Reading Association of Ireland Awards. It was further honored on the IBBY 2012 Honour List in the writing category. The narrative is expertly crafted, drawing readers into Declan's evolving world and his burgeoning connection with the equestrian sport, making it a truly memorable and absorbing read.
