ELSIE'S BIRD by Jane Yolen and David Small

AR: Not Yet (Book won't be here till next year)

Meet Elsie: She's a city girl who lives on Boston. She loves the smell of the harbor and the sounds of the busy city streets. She is very happy living near the ocean surrounded by the people and things that she loves. Everything changes, though, when her mama dies and her papa is left with a deep sadness in his heart.

When Elsie turns eight, her father tells her they are moving west, to Nebraska, and leaving her home and family behind. They packed up their belongings and set out on a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng train ride. Before leaving, Elsie got a brand new bird--a bright yellow canary named Timmy Tune--he helped her to pass the time by singing songs with her during the trip.

Life in Nebraska was very different for Elsie, and she was incredibly sad. Her papa tried to cheer her up and help her like her new home, but the only thing that made her happy was Timmy Tune, her canary. Things go from bad to worse for Elsie, when she leaves his cage open and Timmy flies out the window. Will she find him? Will she ever get used to life in Nebraska? Will her father's broken heart start to heal? You'll have to read the book to find out!
