Birdie and Me

After their mama dies, Jack and Birdie find themselves without a place to call home. And when Mama's two brothers each try to provide one – first sweet Uncle Carl, then gruff Uncle Patrick – the results are funny, tender and tragic.

They're also somehow ... spectacular.

J. M. M. Nuanez's debut novel depicts an unlikely family caught in a situation none of them would have chosen and the beautiful ways in which they finally come to understand one another.

Ideal for readers interested in childrens fiction.
