(2) 4-6 Clara tries to avoid the aviary beside the spooky old mansion where she lives with her housekeeper mother. When she realizes one of the birds is talking to her, Clara starts asking questions. With its early-twentieth-century setting, this story contains locked doors, a magician, and a neat supernatural twist. Clara's character is well developed and interesting as we watch her growing independence.
