Description
Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives with his father in a quiet existence governed by laws that preserve "American culture". His mother, Margaret, a Chinese American poet, left when he was nine years old. Bird has grown up disavowing her and her poems, but when he receives a mysterious letter containing only a cryptic drawing, he is drawn into a quest to find her. This journey takes him back to the folktales his mother used to tell him, through an underground network of librarians, and finally to New York City. Along the way, Bird uncovers secrets about his family's past and the true meaning of freedom and identity. As he searches for answers, Bird must confront the harsh realities of a world that values conformity above all else. Will he find what he's looking for, or will the truth be too much to bear?
