A funny, heart-shattering novel about a fierce parrot, a
big-hearted boy and a spirited elderly widow, all learning to live
fully-fledged lives. Born in the back of a pet store, Alastair the
African grey parrot dreams of escape, to fly off with his beloved
sister, Aggie. But when Aggie is purchased by 12-year-old Fritz,
and Alastair is adopted by Mrs Albertina Plopky, Alastair's hopeful
vision for the future crash-lands. In-between anxiously plucking
his feathers, chewing a few books, and finding his own poetic
voice, Alastair plots his way to Aggie and their flight to freedom.
This debut novel is a heart-felt, bird's-eye view of love and what
it means to break free from the cages we build for ourselves - and
the courage it may take to finally let go.
