This starts out like a conventional feathered friend story with young Stephen finding a wounded gull and taking it home to Granny to heal, cherish and tame. Only the whole plan falls flat, because the gull doesn't like Stephen and Stephen, to be honest, doesn't much like the gull. It's a splendidly unsentimental story enriched by a strong sense of place, and with appeal past 10.
