I am not a “Hollywood fan” and I wondered if I would even like this book enough to finish it, but it truly amused me. Great characters, surprising word choice at times, a plot that continued to surprise.

Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives a quiet existence with his loving father, a former linguist who now shelves books in a university library. His mother, Margaret, a Chinese American poet, left without a trace when he was nine years old. He doesn’t know what happened to her—only that her books have been banned—and he resents that she cared more about her work than about him.
