Dead Birds Singing Book

One minute Matt is relishing the sweet memory of victory, the king most young people daydream about; the next he is waking up in the hospital dealing with the trauma of a horrible car accident. His nightmare a reality, Matt realizes his life is changed forever. No matter how hard people try to make him feel at home, he cannot shake the over whelming feelings of anger, sadness, and aching loneliness inside him.

Dead Birds Singing is a penetrating, often agonizing novel about one boy's encounter with personal tragedy and how, ultimately, he learns to forgive.

After his mother is killed and his sister is badly injured in a car accident, seventh-grader Matt faces life with a new family and a deep feeling of anger.
