I loved the way pigeon language was distinguished. About a girl who spent the majority of her life with pigeons. Obviously, some illogical matters lurk here and there, but I don't think there's a point in blowing holes in a middle grade novel. I highly recommend this novel!! I will never look at pigeons the same way again! Best of all, Coo is a character you can't help but root for and love. Just trust me that Noel has a knack for making the spectacular seems possible in this hopeful, heartwarming novel. I would list my favorite moments but don't want to leave any spoilers. I especially loved some of the more cinematic images this book conjured up. Not only are the human characters and their relationships well-developed, but Coo's pigeons each have their own personality, language (!!), and purpose, so much so that I could fully imagine living with Burr and Roohoo and all the rest of the flock. The concept of a girl raised by pigeons on a roof in New York City feels utterly real in Noel's capable hands. Noel's realistic depiction of Coo's journey to trusting other humans and finding her voice is a joy to read. Coo (the main character) has never left the roof where she lives with her pigeons until one of her flock is injured and she must find her way into the human world to save her friend. I absolutely loved this unique and beautiful story.ĬOO is about a young girl raised by a flock of pigeons.
