Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Bird, a thirteen-year-old girl with a mission, has run away in pursuit of her stepfather. She's sure she'll be able to convince him to return home--to fill the hole he left in their family. And while she hides near his sister's farmhouse, she becomes entwined in the lives of three people who also have holes to fill: Ethan, whose heart troubles have kept him too sheltered from kids his own age; Jay, whose brother has died unexpectedly; and Mrs. Pritchard, whose house has been too empty since her husband was moved to a nursing home.

Through the unique voices of the three kids, an eloquent, affecting story unfolds--the story of how one individual's warmth and kindness can heal so many hurts. Bird will leave you thoroughly uplifted.

Synopsis:

Thirteen-year-old Bird runs away to convince her stepfather to return home, and soon becomes entwined in the lives of three people. This eloquent story by the three-time Coretta Scott King Award winner shows how one individual's warmth and kindness can heal so many hurts.

I think this was a great book because it kept me wondering what will happen next. Any ways I think that Angela Johnson is a great authir. I have almost read most of her books. All of her books gives a good theme to young adults/ teens.
