Bookroo's summary

Ten-year-old Harry's vivid imagination already has everyone questioning his sanity. When his quirky uncle leaves him a parrot named Madison, things get even more unpredictable. Is the parrot just a bird, or does it hold secrets that could change everything? As Harry navigates this new reality, he must prove he's not as crazy as everyone thinks. Dive into a world where fantasy and reality blur, and discover if Harry can uncover the truth behind Madison's mysterious presence. Will his imagination be his downfall or his greatest asset?

From the publisher

“Harry’s parents and friends think he’s crazy because he acts out the richfantasies of his 10-year-old imagination. And when his eccentric American uncledies and leaves Harry a parrot named Madison (Mad), they’re convinced of it. Abelievable, satisfying animal fantasy, with memorable characterizations andplayful humor…a sprightly read-aloud.”– “Publishers Weekly”
