A powerful novel about friendship and family that calls to mind Bridge to Terabithia Twelve-year-old John Fischer Jr., or "Little John" as heâs always been known, is spending his summer helping his father with his tree removal business, clearing brush for Mr. King, the wealthy owner of a chain of Texas dollar stores, when he hears a beautiful song that transfixes him. He follows the melody and finds, not a bird, but a young girl sitting in the branches of a tall sycamore tree. Thereâs something magical about this girl, Gayle, especially her soaring singing voice, and Little Johnâs friendship with Gayle quickly becomes the one bright spot in his life, for his home is dominated by sorrow over his sisterâs death and his parentsâ ever-tightening financial difficulties. But then Mr. King draws Little John into an impossible choiceâforced to choose between his familyâs survival and a betrayal of Gayle that puts her future in jeopardy. Inspired by a Hans Christian Andersen story, Nightingale's Nest is an unforgettable novel about a boy with the weight of the world on his shoulders and a girl with the gift of healing in her voice.
