Description
Still grieving her father's recent death and the loss of her comfortable biracial nuclear American family life, fourteen-year-old Ari struggles to adjust to her new life in Portland, Oregon, with a loving but unfamiliar extended Indian family. When Ari steals her mother's necklace and escapes to the forest, she accidentally plunges into a terrifying world of wild birds in the underbelly of Portland's Forest Park trails.
Ari soon realizes that more than her return home is at stake: Birds are mysteriously dying, threatening a war between species-and her necklace is the only thing protecting her. Can Ari bring peace to the forest and find her way home? And where exactly is home when all she wants to do is run away?
A middle-grade coming-of-age story, Cascadia's Call is about finding your voice and learning how to belong when all you do is stand out.
