Bird Boy grows up

First he is allowed to help his father with a big fishing event and then he has the responsibility of caring for a cormorant chick. But when his friend's big brother plays a trick on him things require a lot of work from Chang, who is mute, to fix. The story is easy to read and fast paced. There are nice illustrations as well. I recommend this book with no qualms.
