The birds are trying to tell us something ... A brand-new story from the bestselling author of Once and Loyal Creatures.

All around the world, birds are behaving strangely. Like they have something to tell us ... If only we knew what!

Jay's parents would know. They're bird experts, after all. But they've been on an expedition for weeks and weeks without a single word. So why does no one seem to care except Jay and his grandad, Poppa?

But when Poppa falls ill, it's up to 11-year-old Jay and his best-friend (and budgie!) Clyde to find his parents and solve this big bird mystery. But they'll need some help!

Join Jay and Clyde, and their friends Maxine and Dora, on an exciting, funny, risky journey across the world to save their families – and maybe even the world!
