When you're 12 years old and 6 foot tall, you'd better be prepared for a hilarious ride through that notoriously tricky first year of high school.

The problem with Bird Day is that all everyone does is go birdwatching. Alma's not very interested in birds. But when she manages to see an extremely rare purple-bellied parrot, it's big news. She's practically, almost, nearly, entirely famous!

The only problem is no one else saw the parrot... And no one saw Alma see the parrot... And no one has seen the parrot since.

When some so-called 'experts' suggest Alma didn't see the bird at all, she's determined to prove them wrong, no matter what.

The Girl Who Cried Bird is the second book in The Too-Tall Tales of Alma T. Best series by Katherine Collette, inviting readers on an unforgettable journey filled with humour and determination.
