Beschreibung

David Carter's charming new book ""Drift and Badger and the Search for Uncle Mo"" is out now. Drift is a red deer fawn, born unseasonably late, and will always struggle against his bigger, brasher brethren. His mother travelled deep into the forest to give birth as the herds moved on far to the north. A tragic accident leaves Drift to fend for himself; to wander the forest, frightened and alone. One moonlit night he stumbles across the crazy badger, Daisy, who begins teaching him the ways of the forest. They set out on the long and eventful journey to locate the herds, and find Drift's missing Uncle Mo, but will they find him, and can they survive the hazards and dangers of the wild forest? The story chronicles their scary adventures as they attempt to cross the forest. You can follow the exciting adventures of Drift and Badger and lose yourself in another world. The book is suitable for older children and adults. ""Drift and Badger and the Search for Uncle Mo"" is out now.

Autor

Peter initially was awarded a BA Degree in Psychology from University College Dublin. He felt drawn to Youth Work rather than Psychology and this led him to study for a qualification in Community Work in Maynooth University. He has over 35 years' experience of working with young people and their families in an effort to find solutions to emotional and behavioural difficulties which arise at home and at school and which may inhibit or prevent the young person in participating fully, or at all, in mainstream education. Peter initially worked as a Community Worker attached to a Special School in the North Inner City area of Dublin. Given his reservations regarding the individual model used in Education, when he began working with David Carter in Finglas, he trained as a Family Therapist, and subsequently also as a Systemic Supervisor.
