Birdie and Me

A stunning debut about a girl named Jack and her gender creative little brother, Birdie, searching for the place where they can be their true and best selves.

After their mama dies, Jack and Birdie find themselves without a place to call home. And when Mama's two brothers each try to provide one--first sweet Uncle Carl, then gruff Uncle Patrick--the results are funny, tender, and tragic.

They're also somehow . . . spectacular.

With voices and characters that soar off the page, J. M. M. Nuanez's debut novel depicts an unlikely family caught in a situation none of them would have chosen, and the beautiful ways in which they finally come to understand one another.

Un debut uimitor despre o fata pe nume Jack si fratele ei creator de gen, Birdie, in cautarea locului in care pot fi adevaratul si cel mai bun eul lor. Dupa moartea mamei lor, Jack si Birdie se gasesc fara un loc unde sa se poata apela acasa. Si cand cei doi frati ai mamei incearca fiecare sa ofere unul - mai intai unchiul dulce Carl, apoi unchiul Patrick dur - rezultatele sunt amuzante, tandre si tragice.
