(3) 4-6 A brief encounter between Zeno, a recently homeless talking African grey parrot, and Alya, an eleven-year-old girl battling leukemia, sparks an unlikely bond that is compromised by fate. Alya and Zeno's struggle for survival is peppered with challenges, but hope and courage carry them through the dark times. Kelley's characters are distinct and she blends two third-person perspectives successfully.
