Be Light Like a Bird by Monika Schroder

Wren's father dies in a plane crash at the beginning of the book.  Her mother won't talk about her dad and that isn't helping Wren get past her grief.  The two move a few times and Wren feels as if her mother is pushing her away.  She meets Theo in her class and the two begin a friendship.  Theo has had a parent die as well--his mother.  The two band together to try to save a local wetland area and in the end, end up saving their relationships with their surviving parents.  I recommend this book for middle schoolers.  I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for a honest review.  I enjoyed this well-written book.
