Bookroo's summary

Calvin, a starling with a passion for reading, faces a crisis when migration time arrives, and he can't fly. As a hurricane threatens his flock, Calvin's bookish knowledge becomes their only hope. Can this 'geeky beaky' turn his love for stories into a real-life rescue mission? Discover how imagination and learning can change the course of events in this charming tale of bravery and wit.

From the publisher

Although a young starling chooses to read books when his cousins are learning to fly, the knowledge he acquires comes in handy when a hurricane threatens the flock’s migration.
