There is the secret of Birdy’s grandmother’s cat. How the boys tortured it and Birdy had to drown it in the river. There’s the secret of Mrs. Cope, the popular teacher who took advantage of Birdy. And the secret of the gypsy girl at school who Birdy likes, but can’t talk about. Because Birdy’s other secret is that while she fights as good as the boys, she is a girl. In this funny and sad portrayal of a young person growing up in an imperfect family, every reader will recognise in Birdy their own struggle to find their place in the world.

Hailed upon its publication as "a classic for readers not yet born" (Philadelphia Inquirer), Birdy is an inventive, hypnotic novel about friendship and family, dreaming and surviving, love and war, madness and beauty, and, above all, "birdness." It tells the story of Al, a bold, hot-tempered boy whose goals in life are to life weights and pick up girls, and his strange friend Birdy, the skinny, tongue-tied perhaps genius who only wants to raise canaries and to fly. While fighting in World War II, they find their dreams become all too real—and their lives are changed forever. In Birdy, William Wharton crafts an unforgettable tale that suggests another notion of sanity in a world that is manifestly insane.

My clients started the bad habit of pointing at strangers and calling them birdy heads! Most people will forgive the rantings of people with Down syndrome, but these strangers were not having it. My apologies didn't do much to assuage the victims of the name-calling, and I soon found out why. What I discovered was that they were, in effect, "different" from the rest of us, and I snooped to find out why. I almost wished I hadn't, because the realization of who or what they were set a whole chain reaction of chaos and disasters, including my crimes of kidnapping and murder and fleeing for our lives. In the course of our running from the strangers, the law, and others, we found friends, allies, and a lot of enemies. But I couldn't run away from the truth, no matter how much it cost me, us.

A darkly compulsive tale of friendship and obsession. Frances Bird has been a loner for so long that she's given up on ever finding real friendship. But then she's asked to show a new girl around school, and she begins to think her luck could finally be changing. Eccentric, talkative and just a little bit posh, Alberta is not at all how Frances imagined a best friend could be. But the two girls click immediately, and it's not long before they are inseparable. Frances could not be happier. As the weeks go on, Frances finds out more about her new best friend - her past, her secrets, her plans for the future - and she starts to examine their friendship more closely. Is it, perhaps, just too good to be true?
