The Magic Walnut

Terry is terrified...of everything...especially flying...which isn't great if you are a swan. Being afraid of the one thing that you really are meant to be able to do is a bit of a downer.

Terry's past holds the key to his predicament, but will he be able to overcome his Terrifying phobia? or 'Terry-flying-phobia'? (Thank you) and make the flight on Migration day, or will he get left behind?

Is there such a thing as magic? Can it solve all of his problems? Or is it about the magic within? (no prizes for guessing the answer to this one)
