I love this beautifully written coming-of-age story about 11-year-old Graham who has spent so much of his life in a hospital waiting room to find out what is wrong with his Mom. They have moved around the country seeking medical care for her and she is now on the waiting list for a heart transplant, bringing them to Florida to wait again. It is there that his life begins to change when he meets a girl his age who also seems to spend a lot of time at the hospital. Lou tells him about a contest to find the endangered Snail Kite bird that once resided in the nearby swamps, and the reward that comes with finding it. As he and Lou set off on an adventure to find the bird, Graham finds much more about himself and life. RARE BIRDS is indeed a rare find.
