Under a Deep Blue Sky (大象传媒 Young Writers' Award 2018)
Listen to a moving short story from Davina Bacon, 17, from Cambridgeshire. Inspired by Davina鈥檚 early childhood in Africa and her passion for environmental issues, this is the raw and emotionally powerful story of a young poacher and the brutal murder of a mother and baby elephant. Beautifully structured, parallels are drawn between the boy鈥檚 memory of his own mother鈥檚 death and the harsh realities of life where killing is his only survival option.
