Twitch
by Leonard, M. G.
Twitch is a boy who finds more comfort in the company of birds than people. He spends his summer vacation in the woods, observing nests and documenting life through his binoculars.

Leonard nails the feeling of being an outsider who realizes that their unique way of looking at the world is actually a superpower. It is a perfect pick for readers who enjoy solving puzzles alongside a protagonist who is brave, authentic, and deeply connected to the natural world.
