This is a slow and reflective, family centric middle grade novel. It all starts when the mom of the family takes a DNA test and Birdy, the baby of the family, spits in a tube too. When the results come back, it seems that Birdy is not biologically related to the rest of the family. This secret causes Nora and Ben (the twins and older siblings) to evaluate what matters and what this means for their family. Something about the way this story was told held me back from really connecting. I felt like it was done and I was still missing being fully invested in the story.
