Critics Review
Winner of the Schneider Family Book Award for Best Book for Middle Grade
“I was always going to love this book because it’s about a boy who loves birds. What I didn’t expect was how deeply I would fall in love with the characters. Alison Green Myers makes choices in her writing that reflect the complicated nature of Axel’s thoughts so tenderly that I ached for him and his family. This is absolutely my favorite middle grade novel this year.” —Heidi E. Y. Stemple, author of Fly With Me, Counting Birds, and You Nest Here With Me
“Lyrical descriptions of birds are woven seamlessly into the plot of this heartfelt debut. A beautiful and moving book.”—Padma Venkatraman, Walter Award winning author of The Bridge Home
“A soaring tale of family in its many forms.“—Booklist
“Poetically portrays the oft-difficult, usually rewarding work of maintaining families of choice and of blood.“—Kirkus
