The Someday Birds is a debut middle grade novel perfect for fans of Counting by 7s and Fish ina Tree, filled with humor, heart, and chicken nuggets.

Charlies perfectly ordinary life has been unraveling ever since his war journalist father was injured in Afghanistan.

When his father heads from California to Virginia for medical treatment, Charlie reluctantly travels cross-country with his boy-crazy sister, unruly brothers, and a mysterious new family friend. He decides that if he can spot all the birds that he and his father were hoping to see someday along the way, then everything might just turn out okay.

Debut author Sally J. Pla has written a tale that is equal parts madcap road trip, coming-of-age story for an autisticboy who feels he doesnt understand the world, and an uplifting portrait of a family overcoming a crisis.

Offering a mixture of suspense, mystery, tragedy and humor, Plas story captures both the literal and figurative meanings of journey. Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Pla gives us a memorable hero in this lyrical and funny book. Shelf Awareness (starred review)
