Extraordinary Birds
by Sandy Stark-Mcginnis (Author)
Booktalk: December believes she is a bird. The scar on her back is where her wings will sprout, and one day soon, she will soar away. It will not matter that she has no permanent home. Her destiny is in the sky.
But then she’s placed with foster mom Eleanor, a kind woman who volunteers at an animal rescue and has secrets of her own. December begins to see that her story could end a different way — but could she ever be happy down on the ground?
Snippet: What he really means by permanent is being adopted, but even if that’s what happens to me, getting adopted, it won’t matter. Once my wings unfold, I’m flying away.
Adrian orders a single scoop of vanilla with no toppings. “I won’t give up until we find a good home for you. You’re not alone, December.”
It’s part of his job to convince me that things aren’t as bad as I think they are, or that everything’s going to be okay. He’s good at it. No matter how many foster homes I’ve been in, he tries to make me believe that the next one will be better.
