Product Description
A funny, heart-shattering novel about a fierce parrot,
a big-hearted boy and a spirited elderly widow, all learning to
live fully-fledged lives.
Born in the back of a pet store, Alastair the African grey parrotdreams
of escape, to fly off with his beloved sister, Aggie.
But when Aggie is purchased by 12-year-old Fritz, and Alastair
is adopted by Mrs Albertina Plopky, Alastair's hopeful vision for
the future crash-lands.
In-between anxiously plucking his feathers, chewing a few books,
and finding his own poetic voice, Alastair plots his way to Aggie
and their flight to freedom.
This debut novel is a heart-felt, bird's-eye view of love and
what it means to break free from the cages we build for ourselves-
and the courage it may take to finally let go.
