In The News

“The story is alternately told in Zeno's and Alya's voices, and both characters are compelling, believable, and likable. Sprinkled with humor, particularly with Zeno's gaps in vocabulary, the plot is fast paced and will appeal to a wide range of readers as they root for a satisfying ending for both the bird and the young girl.” —School Library Journal

“For animal lovers looking for something unique, this story of true friends missing each other will fit the bill.” —Booklist

“An uplifting story of courage, resilience, and cross-species friendship.” —Publishers Weekly
