Moonbird: A Year on the Wind with the Great Survivor B95 by Phillip Hoose

5.0

I do so love modern nonfiction for young people. This book did so many things well: gave a species nearing extinction a recognizable persona, showed scientific method in action, offered jobs in science, and gave kids ways to make a difference.
The migration of the red knot is presented in all its complexity, tied with the other species that make it possible and the various ways humans affect it.
The writing was clear and interesting and I will be looking for B95 on the coast this year.
