We are absolutely thrilled to be joined by both award-winning author, Ely Percy, and poet, Len Pennie, to talk all about Ely's book that won Scottish Book of the Year 2021 and Scottish Fiction Book of the Year 2021, Duck Feet!
Duck Feet
Written in Scots, Duck Feet is a quirky, relatable coming of age novel
Follow the story of 12-year-old Kirsty Campbell and her friends as they navigate life from first to sixth year at Renfrew Grammar school. This book is a celebration of youth in an ever-changing world. Witness the hard-hitting challenges they face - such as drugs, bullying, sexuality, and teenage pregnancy - through a warm narrative of friendship, love and humour. This is a relatable and accessible portrait of figuring out who you are, diving into the currents of life, most of all, finding hope.
