OLDER FICTION
Brunner, Kym

Flip the Bird

(3) YA Fourteen-year-old Mercer dreams of training raptors like his falconer father, but he's never really given much thought to other animals--including the dogs his mother performs medical research on. When Mercer meets Lucy, a beautiful girl whose parents are devoted animal-rights activists, he begins to examine his own complicated beliefs. The ancient tradition of falconry gives this authentic coming-of-age story a unique angle.
