Description
Liam's life is turned upside down when his family moves to be near his grandmother, who is struggling with dementia. As he navigates his new neighborhood and school, Liam finds solace in a rundown church where he discovers an oversized gargoyle that seems to hold secrets of its own.
As Liam tells stories about the stone bird to his classmates, they begin to captivate him, and his teacher's nods of encouragement fuel his imagination. But when bullies start to target him, the gargoyle seems to come to life, swooping in to protect and defend him in unexpected ways.
Is the old stone bird really alive, or is it just Liam's imagination finding ways to help him through a difficult time? This moving story explores themes of family, friendship, and the power of storytelling to overcome even the toughest challenges.
