Absolutely Fantastic!!

I read this book pretty quickly. I couldn't put it down. It had so many funny and mysterious parts. I love the character: Singing Bird. She is so nice. I love the Raven who says "Write it Down" all the time. It totally makes me break down laughing!! It is such a funny book with so much excitement. I totally think that this book would be suitable for anybody who loves the study and science of birds: especially ravens. I highly recommend this book to anybody who needs to find a book and doesn't know what to read. Great book. It's a must read.

Charlie found this raven and it had a broken leg so he took it in and put its leg in a sling typ e thing. His granddad likes to study birds. His grandmother doesn't really care. She spends most of her time cooking. He got the raven home and so they bandaged it up. And charlie got an interest for this bird and his grandfather told him to observe the raven. Write down a good and a bad list. On in the story though he had to make a new list called the mysterious list. The raven followed charlie everywhere to dinner, outside. Charlie wrote down the ravens everymove Charlie also followed the bird everywhere. The neighbor hated ravens and was very supperstitous and he said he was not going to keep the bird cause he was going to shoot it. But then later on Charlie notices that his grandfather is getting better and then sometimes he gets worse. Then they family realizes that the raven had been taking his granddads pills and hiding them because they were shiny. That made his grandfather happy but he was still sick and later on he died. But the raven and charlie were friends.
