Summary

McAnulty chronicles the turning of a year in his Northern Ireland home patch. Beginning in spring, these diary entries about his connection to wildlife and the way he sees the world are vivid, evocative, and moving. He also captures his perspective as a teenager juggling exams, friendships, and a life of campaigning to save the natural world. We see his close-knit family, the disruptions of moving and changing schools, and the complexities of living with autism.
