(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Leslie Bowman. During the summer of 1960, Nick nurtures a young mockingbird he names Marcy; soon, Marcy is following Nick around town. Later, while Nick and his mom are away on vacation, the bird claims its freedom. These story-structuring events are embedded in quiet, homely description, vivid with sensory detail. The writing is deft, and the bird lore authentic. A note on mockingbirds is included.
