Homeless Bird

Homeless Bird

By Gloria Whelan

Like many other books this is a story of an unfortunate tragedy with a fairytale ending. Throughout the book the author keeps your attention and reminds you of the scenario so that you are not confused. It however does give away many of the details in the story, that may have been meant for a unexpected twist, so it won't keep you guessing which makes it an easy read but takes out much of the thrill and mystery. Overall I found it very predictable. On the other hand I found the book to be a page turner that kept you reading. Its sure to be a read you won't soon forget. One detail I loved about the book is it describes India today. It gives you a piece of mind and makes you appreciate everything you have, and reminds your some have nothing. The story also was an inspiration to me. The main character, Koly was not only strong and tough but kind hearted and wise. With these qualities I found myself almost caring about the character and wanting to make sure she turned out okay. This alone can make Homeless Bird a instant favorite. Overall the book was a great read an any reader is sure to enjoy it.

Absolutely wonderful! Great job bringing awareness to the events of 911 without leaving my son sad and depressed. Multiple story lines converging at the end made the suspense to great that he had to finish the book. He's read it twice and puts it up there with Orbiting Jupitet. Great read and great teaching lesson!
