USA TODAY BESTSELLER • A poignant and heartwarming coming-of-age novel that captures the moment of learning to spread your wings in a way you'll never forget—from the award-winning author of Song for a Whale.
“Perfect for readers who enjoy stories about curious kids and nature’s wonders.”—TIME for Kids

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?

      Narrator Ferdelle Capistrano sweetly narrates this story about thriving when you find something you love. Bird-loving Nina feels out of place in her large family and with the kids at school. Her Aunt Aubrey, a camp director, invites her to spend the summer with her. Feeling out of place at the campers' arrivals, Nina asks her parents to come get her. But she quickly changes her mind upon discovering a nest of two endangered whooping cranes. Unable to hide her joy and enthusiasm, Nina begins to form friendships with fellow campers and builds relationships with caring adults. Capistrano has a tender, childlike voice when portraying Nina and a smooth, kind voice when depicting adults. A delightful listening experience for those interested in nature and conservation.
