I’m not sure how I felt about this book. It was compelling in that I wanted to know how the characters would resolve their issues within the book, but it was sad to be with them through the story.

Reread via audio, rated higher on second go around as everything clicks together sooo much more once you’ve read the whole series!

It’s cliche to describe something we coming of age, but this is a coming of age novel of a boy becoming a teen, growing up, learning how life really is etc.
I picked this because Almond is a local author to the north east, and this book is set in the Tyneside area which is an immediate draw for me.

A pleasant surprise - I worried that the mental health aspect would draw away from the bird aspect, but the two are interwoven so brilliantly that they just make one whole enjoyable experience.
Joe explains how birding saved him from poor mental health and gives a few practical steps you can take to allow nature to help you.
There is also plenty of bird and descriptions of birds Joe comes across.
