Newbery Medal–winning author Patricia MacLachlan paints a moving
portrait of what it means to be a family, the power of love, and
the importance of bringing the truth out into the light, in this
beautiful and profound story about adoption, now available in
paperback. Nora and Ben’s younger sister Birdy loves to keep
secrets. She surprises her family more than once: She hides a
kitten in her room. She writes a beautiful poem. One day Birdy
watches her mother spit into a tube, ready to send it off to find
out more about herself and where her family came from. Birdy spits
into a tube, too, when no one sees her. But when the test results
come back, they are a surprise. Birdy is seemingly not related to
Nora and Ben’s parents. But if she is adopted, how could that
have happened without the children knowing? Nora and Ben must learn
when to keep a secret, and who to go to for help—and eventually,
how to solve this secret for the entire family.
