This book is about 12-year-old Peterson. Peterson is an orphan who lost his parents in an earthquake when he was only 7 years old. At the age of 9, he lost his right eye. He lives in a cave with his dog. Peterson is able to overcome his difficulties, to face his fear and become the greatest bird hunter in the village where he is from. He is a source of motivation for many people and his name was known to all. The Greatest Bird Killer is a message to those who think they are lost, who think they are not up to the height and those who let their physical or moral disabilities (poverty, social position, etc.) determine their future.
