本書出自 Carnegie Medal 得主 Katya Balen 之手，是一則關於憤怒、修復與重新相信自己的成長故事。父親離開後，Con 心裡的怒氣不斷累積，他想成為更好的人，卻一次次失控，甚至因此被學校停學，連最親近的朋友也開始害怕他。那些他渴望的平靜與善意，彷彿越來越遙遠。
轉機來自鄰居 Mr Williams 的祕密。在公寓屋頂上，他飼養著一群信鴿，牠們每天飛越城市，把訊息送到遠方，最後總能找到回家的路。當 Mr Williams 邀請 Con 一起照顧這些脆弱又堅定的生命時，Con 開始學會耐心與信任，也慢慢看見自己仍有被託付的可能。
當 Mr Williams 暫時離開，Con 獨自承擔責任，並產生了一個大膽的念頭：也許這些信鴿，能帶回的不只是訊息。
A captivating story about finding friendship and hope … and a place where you can spread your wings. From Carnegie Medal winner Katya Balen.
Con has been angry ever since Dad left. He doesn't want to be. He wants to play FIFA with his best friend Kyron; to make his mum proud; to let people's words about his dad roll off him like water. Instead, rage builds inside him until he explodes. Now even Kyron is scared of him. And when Con gets suspended from school he knows he's let everyone down. The good person he longs to be feels unreachable.
And then his neighbour, Mr Williams, lets him in on a secret.
Up on the roof of Con's building, Mr Williams keeps homing pigeons. Their feathers are the colour of pearls and storm clouds. Every day they fly out, carrying messages to people in other towns before finding their way home. Mr Williams wants Con's help looking after them. Con can't believe it. How could someone like him be trusted with these delicate creatures? But slowly, Con begins to believe that he can.
Then Mr Williams goes away for a few days. Con is left in charge, and he begins to wonder whether the pigeons might be able to bring home more than just messages. Perhaps they could find his dad.
