A Newbery Honor Book An ALA-ALSC Notable Children\'s Book Winner of the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Juvenile Novel An adventure, a mystery, and a love song to the natural world.
Yet even with resolute determination and her trusty Springfield single-shot, Georgie is not prepared for what she faces on the western frontier..
She will track every last clue and shred of evidence to bring Agatha home.
Refusing to believe the facts that are laid down (and coffined) before her, Georgie sets out on a journey to find her sister.

But when Georgie blurts out something she shouldn\'t, her older sister Agatha flees, running off with a pack of pigeoners trailing the passenger pigeon migration.
