Wild Bird

Wild Bird

From the award-winning author of The Running Dream and Flipped comes a remarkable portrait of a girl who has hit rock bottom but begins a climb back to herself at a wilderness survival camp.

3:47 a.m. Thatâ€™s when they come for Wren Clemmens. Sheâ€™s hustled out of her house and into a waiting car, then a plane, and then taken on a forced march into the desert. This is what happens to kids whoâ€™ve gone so far off the rails, their parents donâ€™t know what to do with them anymore. This is wilderness therapy camp. Eight weeks of survivalist camping in the desert. Eight weeks to turn your life around. Yeah, right.
Â
The Wren who arrives in the Utah desert is angry and bitter, and blaming everyone but herself. But angry canâ€™t put up a tent. And bitter wonâ€™t start a fire. Wrenâ€™s going to have to admit she needs help if sheâ€™s going to survive.

"I read Wild Bird in one long, mesmerized gulp. Wren will break your heartâ€”and then mend it."Â â€”Nancy Werlin, National Book Award finalist forÂ The Rules of Survival

"Van Draanenâ€™s Wren is real and relatable, and readers will root for her."Â â€”VOYA,Â starred review
