Bøger af Jennifer Ann Richter

Fifth-grader Nyla sets out to win her city school's bird watching competition, even if it means balancing new friends with old and going up against the wealthy competition. When a birding tournament between Nyla's class and a class from the suburbs is announced, Nyla sees her chance to use her nerdy knowledge to get the respect she deserves from her classmates. If they win, that is. The Burb Birders are tough competition with their huge backyards and much fancier equipment. But once the contest is in full swing, Nyla starts to lose sight of everything and everyone else, including best friend Tasha, who seems strangely distant as of late. Will Nyla be able to win while still remaining true to herself? Told with humor and warmth, debut author Jennifer Richter's BIRD NERD combines a deep love of nature and birding with the story of a young girl learning to forge her own path. A story for bird-watching newbies and advanced bird nerds alike.
