Wing Nut

Twelve-year-old Grady Flood is used to moving from place to place with his mom, but now their car has broken down, and they are faced with nowhere to live and no way to move on. Mom gets a job as a cook for a crusty old man, who brings them into his world. He has a passion for caring for purple martins. Growing up is a learning experience, and Grady learns much from Old Charlie Fernwald, mechanic and caretaker of birds.
