Summary
"Eleven-year-old Birdy and her younger brother, Mouse, have always looked out for each other. After their mother dies of cancer, Birdy and Mouse are forced to move out to the country to live with relatives they've never met. Aunt Mitzie and Uncle Shadow's house is full of organized chaos, and it takes Birdy time to adjust to having adults around. There's only one problem: It's all temporary. Their social worker has promised to find them a permanent home by the next school year, whether they want to leave or not. As the summer unfolds, Mouse starts to feel attached to their new life. But Birdy knows better. When her fears get the best of her, she makes a mistake that could jeopardize their future." --
