I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for honest review.

(Ages 8–12), a memorable story about a girl, a tragic change, and the healing power of love and friendship.

In 1972, eleven-year-old Naomi “Chirp” Orenstein; her older sister, Rachel; her psychiatrist father; and her dancer mother live on Cape Cod. Everything changed as Chirp watches as the symptoms of her mother's illness worsens. Chirp escapes the confusion and pain through her adventures into the woods to watch birds. But an unlikely friendship forms between her and the boy next door. Both seeking refuge from the struggles and pain in their homes, they develop an escape plan filled with adventure and humor. Chirp's story will linger with you long after you turn the final page.
