Strange Birds: A Field Guide to Ruffling Feathers

367 pp. | Penguin/Kokila | September, 2019 | Trade ISBN 978-0-425-29043-9 $16.99
(1) 4-6 Artistic Lane DiSanti, bird-lover Cat Garcia, cooking whiz Aster Douglas, and aspiring journalist Ofelia Castillo forge a friendship united by a common cause: stopping the girls' club from bestowing its ceremonial feathered hat at the annual Miss Floras contest (Cat calls it "bird murder"). Pérez's (The First Rule of Punk) alternating third-person narrative evokes the small-town Florida setting vividly. For preteens discovering that friendships can be complicated, and that the world is more so.
