The Someday Birds by Sally J Pla
The Someday Birds is a debut middle grade novel perfect for fans of Counting by 7s and Fish in a Tree, filled with humor, heart, and chicken nuggets. Charlie's perfectly ordinary life has been unraveling ever since his war journalist father was injured in Afghanistan. When his father heads from California to Virginia for medical treatment, Charlie reluctantly travels cross-country with his boy-crazy sister, unruly brothers, and a mysterious new family friend. He decides that if he can spot all the birds that he and his father were hoping to see someday along the way, then everything might just turn out okay. Debut author Sally J. Pla has written a tale that is equal parts madcap road trip, coming-of-age story for a boy who feels he doesn't understand the world, and an uplifting portrait of a family overcoming a crisis.
"Sally JPla does a wonderful job of weaving humor and humanity into this tale of one boy's triumph." -- Cammie McGovern, author of JUST MY LUCK and SAY WHAT YOU WILL
