Duck and Swan

A moving and often funny story of friendship and acceptance set against a background of intolerance and high adventure in a quiet part of County Galway. When Martin "Duck" Oduki, abandoned in Dublin by a Nigerian father and Irish drug-addicted mother, runs away from St. Mark's Care Center, Emer "Swan" Healy discovers him hiding on a school bus bound for Galway. Watching her own sick mother struggle to regain her health, Swan is also running from the pain and confusion she feels. It isn't long before the two children realize they need each other. Duck finds other unusual allies in Granny Flynn and her husband Tom, who is blind.Quinn, John is the author of 'Duck and Swan', published 1993 under ISBN 9781853713170 and ISBN 1853713171.
