The Amazing Life of Birds

By Gary Paulsen

(YA F Paul)

84 pages. 2006 Realistic/Humor Fiction

Through a series of embarrassing events, Duane sees himself morphing into a clumsy, awkward, tongue-tied preteen very similar to the baby bird wobbling around in the nest outside his bedroom window. Panicking over Duane’s new bald spot, the principal insists that all students be tested for ringworm. He can’t catch a break on his attempts to fit in and be cool. (Grades 6 and Up)
