COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Amazing submitted by susanlam on August 23, 2011, 9:12pm I absolutely love this book. My family and I will return to it again and again because it's just so intriguing. The story is of a mother seagull who was caught in an oil slick. She was able to fly away, and landed on the balcony of an apartment in a city, where she laid her eggs before passing away. The cat who lived in the apartment ended up taking care of the seagull chick that hatched, and he and his cat friends had to work together to figure out how she could learn to fly. A heartwarming and thoroughly entertaining story--definitely worth the read!
