A teen copes with her grandmother's coma by becoming obsessed with a mystery bird that she cannot identify in this sharp and poignant YA novel.
Laurel Graham has loved bird watching as long as she can remember, just like her beloved grandmother, who also happens to be a steadying force in her life.

One evening Gran drags Laurel out on a birding expedition where the pair hear a mysterious call that even Gran can’t identify. The pair vow to find out what it is after Laurel completes her art portfolios for two prestigious local summer art intensives that could assure her a place at her dream school.

But soon after, Gran is involved in a horrible car accident. This rocks Laurel to her core, especially because she holds a secret about her grandmother’s accident—it was all her fault.

Laurel, like her mother, feels everything times a thousand. Every gust of wind or whiff of pancake, every joy, every loss—they are all like electricity to her senses. With Gran in a coma in the hospital and not around to keep Laurel grounded and help her cope, Laurel begins to slowly unravel.
