This year’s selection, The Aviary by Kathleen O’Dell is an exciting mystery tale. The story of a twelve-year-old girl, a crumbling mysterious mansion and a cage full of exotic birds. The birds in the aviary are frightening, always screeching whenever the girl comes near. And then one day, the mynah bird speaks, and a mystery starts to unravel. This book is best for grades 4-8.
