Secret Language of Birds | Lynne Kelly
1 post | 1 read
An instant USA Today bestseller! From the award-winning author of Song for a Whale comes a poignant and heartwarming tale about a girl who discovers a pair of endangered birds about to lay eggs in the marshes of her summer camp...and the secret plan she hatches to help them. Nina is used to feeling like the odd one out, both at school and in her large family. But while trying to fit in at summer camp, she discovers something even more peculiar: two majestic birds have built a nest in the marsh behind an abandoned infirmary. They appear to be whooping cranes, but that's impossible--Nina is an amateur bird-watcher, and all her resources tell her that those rare birds haven't nested in Texas for over a hundred years. When Nina reports the sighting to wildlife officials, more questions arise. Experts track all the endangered birds, but they can't identify the female bird that Nina found. Who is she, and where did she come from? With the help of some fellow campers, Nina sets out to discover who the mystery bird really is. As she gets closer to the truth, will she find a flock of her own? This instant classic captures the coming-of-age moment of learning to spread your wings in a way you'll never forget.

Ms Kelly knows how to write a tale. These characters are sympathetic and become even more thoughtful as the story progresses. The love of knowledge and commitment of the girls towards the cranes was inspiring and the adults were mature and did not treat the girls with condescension. This is a must read author.
