From Governor General's Literary Award finalist Michelle
Kadarusman. A moving novel for middle-grade readers that is not
about overcoming disability, but rather becoming one's truest self
"Hummingbirds and angels don't need two good feet. They have
wings." That's what Alba's mother always says. Of course, Alba
doesn't have wings or two good feet: she has Cleo. Cleo is the name
Alba has given to her left foot, which was born twisted in the
wrong direction. When she points this out, though, her mother just
smiles like the world has some surprise in store she doesn't know
about yet. Well, Alba has her own surprise planned. After many
surgeries and one final cast, Cleo is almost ready to meet the
world straight on-just in time to run in the school cross-country
race. Unfortunately, Alba's best friend Levi thinks there's no way
she can pull it off. And she thinks there's no way he's right about
the school librarian hiding a wormhole in her office. Tempers
flare. Sharp words fly faster than hummingbirds. And soon it looks
like both friends will be stuck proving their theories on their
own. The Theory of Hummingbirds is now available in a paperback
edition with French flaps and a brand-new cover!
