Debut novel
Birdie and Me is an emotional and uplifting debut about a girl named Jack and her gender creative little brother, Birdie, searching for the place where they can be their true and best selves.
After their mama dies, Jack and Birdie find themselves without a place to call home. And when Mama's two brothers each try to provide one – first sweet Uncle Carl, then gruff Uncle Patrick – the results are funny, tender and tragic.
They're also somehow ... spectacular.
J. M. M. Nuanez's debut novel depicts an unlikely family caught in a situation none of them would have chosen and the beautiful ways in which they finally come to understand one another.
'[T]he prose flows seamlessly and the dialogue feels undeniably real.'
Booklist
'Sure-handed storytelling ... [A] strong middle grade debut.'
