The Theory of Hummingbirds

About this book

A heartwarming story about friendship, self-acceptance, and the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Alba and Levi, best friends forever, share a fascination with hummingbirds and a secret hideout in the school library. But when Levi becomes convinced their librarian has discovered a wormhole, Alba worries he's gone too far. Meanwhile, Alba, who calls her brace-wearing left foot 'Cleo,' dreams of running in the cross-country race after her final cast comes off.

As Alba chases her dream of 'normalcy,' she wonders if she's losing more than just Cleo and her crutches. Will Levi's obsession with the wormhole jeopardize their friendship? Can Alba embrace her unique self and find her place in the world? This #ownvoices story is perfect for middle grade and teen readers who love heartwarming tales of friendship, self-discovery, and overcoming challenges.
