+ Want to read

"A tiny, beautiful, carved wooden bird; an abandoned, waste lot; a gang of rowdy kids; a mysterious skeleton; an antique carving; the birth of a beautiful park; all these things come together to change Jenny Murnroe's life and turn a bleak-looking summer into one long, exciting adventure."
