The Seagull and the Sheikh

Nelson, a great black-backed seagull, lies under an upturned boat on a beach in Dubai. A deep gash on his back is attracting flies that eagerly feed on the wound. Unable to move, the magnificent bird lies waiting for death to bring him relief from the pain. But fate intervenes. David, a twelve year old boy, hears the gull's weak cries and convinces his mother and stepfather to take Nelson home with them. This simple act of compassion sparks a chain of events that puts David and his family on a collision course with a corrupt businessman and a private eye who are determined to have them thrown out of Dubai. However, when a member of the royal family steps into the fray, matters reach an unexpected conclusion. But sometimes you have to risk everything, your heart won't let you do otherwise.
