The Simple Art of Flying by Cory LeonardoMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Many thanks for Laurie Hnatiuk and #mgbookchat for this awesome recommendation; can't wait for the twitter chat Tues 6/25 at 9PM EST! I loved Cory Leonardo's way with words, so humorous, yet exploring Alastair and Fritz and Bertie's personalities, hopes and dreams. I ached as the parrots lost their feathers; cheered as they found forever homes (even if it did take stubborn, morose Alastair longer!!!). Bertie's letters to her dead husband were so sweet- she was ever the positive force (both for Alastair and Fritz) so definitely needed! Middle school readers will love these three voices- the poetry, the musings, the food, the pet support groups/clubs will keep readers turning the pages!
