"The compelling story and riveting photos provide an engaging overview of bird rescue and rehabilitation and the important role performed by wildlife hospitals. A Q&A section about peregrines in general and Maggie and her family is appended."

--Joy Fleishhacker, School Library Journal

"A good addition to collections about birds and wildlife."

--Robin Sofge, School Library Journal

"Too many authors are satisfied with a few cute pictures and a simple story, but Christie has obviously set out to educate anyone who reads this book, or has it read to them, and inspire them to look up and think about the difficult lives that our urban wildlife experience. A book that deserves to be in every grade school classroom and even grandma's house!"

--Travis Rosenberry, Library Director, The Peregrine Fund Research Library
