Nest by Esther Ehrlich
Grades 4+
Home is a cozy next on Cape Cod for eleven-year-old Naomi "Chirp" Prenstein; her older sister, Rachel; her psychiatrist father; and her dancer mother. But when Chirp's mom develops symptoms of a serious disease, the family struggles with tragic changes.
Chirp gets comfort from watching her beloved wild birds. She also finds a true friend in Joey, the mysterious boy from across the road.
Nest is Esther Ehrlich's remarkable debut novel. Her lyrical writing is honest, humorous, and deeply affecting. Long after you finish Nest, the spirit of Chirp and her loving family will stay with you.
