The Secret Language of Birds

At summer camp, amateur bird-watcher Nina discovers a pair of endangered whooping cranes nesting where her research says they shouldn't exist, and sets out with fellow campers to identify the mystery bird that wildlife officials can't explain. Along the way, Nina, who has always felt like the odd one out, finds a flock of her own. This is a heartfelt choice for students because it pairs a genuine wildlife mystery with a relatable story about belonging and self-discovery.
