Reviews
"The intensely awkward self-consciousness of the middle school years is presented with realistic sensitivity and insight. An emotionally perceptive story of awakening compassion for self and others."--Kirkus Reviews
"McCullough writes with compassion and knowledge as she traces Callie's ups and downs in a new country alongside her burgeoning, awkwardly won knowledge of friendship and self."

--Publishers Weekly
"With appealing jacket art, a distinctive setting, and an involving narrative, this inviting book delivers a good story."--Booklist
"McCullough has created a realistic and compelling story about belonging. Even readers unfamiliar with birdwatching will enjoy learning about the history of the sport and the subtle differences that separate species. . . [a] sweet middle-grade novel of self-acceptance and finding one's flock."--Shelf Awareness
