About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to question the motives of others or feels a strong urge to protect those who cannot speak for themselves. This mystery follows eleven year old Philippa as she travels with her father to a parrot sanctuary, only to find herself embroiled in a plot involving suspicious entertainers and rare birds. It is a perfect choice for children who are developing their own sense of justice and learning to trust their gut instincts. The story explores themes of environmental conservation, the importance of integrity, and the bond between parents and children. While the plot involves a potential crime, the tone remains lighthearted and adventurous. It is developmentally appropriate for middle grade readers who enjoy a fast paced whodunit with a positive, empowering message about standing up for what is right, even when adults might be skeptical.
