Strange Birds

Strange Birds follows four very different girls in a small Florida town — Ofelia, a budding journalist; Aster, a bookish foodie; Cat, a rule-following birdwatcher; and Lane, a wealthy kid with a mysterious invitation — who find themselves united by a shared mission to challenge an outdated tradition in their local Scout troop called the Floras. Over the course of one unforgettable summer, the four form their own renegade troop and discover what sisterhood, justice, and independence really mean. Celia C. Pérez's funny, warm, and thoughtful novel is an excellent choice for students because it celebrates diverse friendships, community activism, and the courage to question unfair rules — while featuring Latina and other marginalized voices in a joyful, adventurous story that feels both timely and timeless.
