Eleven-year-old Rebecca is trying to cope with her panic attacks but life becomes complicated when she is teamed up with Weird Cedar on her endangered species project.
Her friendship with Frieda is tested when Frieda has to work with Bossy Brianna, the class bully, and Rebecca and her mom are told their little rental home is being sold. While working on the project of the endangered northern spotted owl, Rebecca discovers that Cedar is kind and a talented artist who carries an enormous burden. When Cedar's grandfather takes them to the Raptors to watch a flying demonstration Rebecca feels the magic when the great horned owl lands on her arm. Perhaps this unforgettable moment will help her cope with future panic attacks. Will her class raise enough money to adopt twelve endangered species? Will Rebecca and her Mom find a place to live or will she be forced to change schools and lose her friends forever?
Reviews
“An excellent story about friendship, team work, mental health, family and the quest to save endangered animals. An excellent read-aloud choice, [that] would certainly initiate class discussions.” —Canadian Review of Materials
“A compelling story about how classmates put their personal
differences aside to work together to help save endangered wildlife. A must read for anyone interested in the plight of our imperilled planet.” —Bitten Acherman, author of Lost in Barkerville
