Some boys learn to fly without ever leaving the ground.
Louisiana, 1976. Eleven-year-old Adam Ellerby has just lost his father, and the world he once understood has become a place of questions without answers. His little brother, Skeeter, needs someone to look after him. His mother is struggling with troubles of her own. And Adam, who has never been quite like other boys, is beginning to discover how much growing up can hurt.
But summer has a way of surprising even the loneliest of boys.
There are railroad tracks that seem to lead everywhere, a Granddaddy with more wisdom than words, and friendships that aren't always what they appear. Somewhere in the midst of it all, Adam Ellerby becomes Birdy, and an ordinary Louisiana summer becomes a season he will never forget.
Birdy is a tender, sometimes funny, and deeply human story about grief, belonging, and the difficult business of growing up.
And about discovering that sometimes, one more minute can make all the difference.
