(3) 4-6 Noah is a seventh-grade bird-watcher whose search for an elusive wood duck sighting precipitates a domino effect of science-fictive discovery starting with a mysterious, powerful disc. Noah's clever, humorous, and engaging voice helps make spectacular events credible without undermining their emotional and moral weight. Interstellar and, especially, environmental concerns take the forefront in this middle-school mystery adventure.
