(4) 4-6 When sixth-grader Fowler Young discovers that one of the class pets at his school is possibly dying due to neglect, he hatches a plan to steal the Amazon parrot, hide it in his bedroom, and pin the blame on a nerdy classmate. Nearly every aspect of his plot goes awry. Some over-the-top characterizations and plot twists nearly overwhelm the low-key quirkiness of Fowler's first-person voice.
