Summary
Bloomsbury presents Birdie's Billions by Edith Cohn, read by Emma Love.
A savvy young girl finds half a million dollars and wonders if she can keep it in this charming middle-grade mystery that asks big questions about right, wrong and what you'd do for family.
For as long as 11-year-old Birdie can remember, it’s always been just her and her mom, which means there’s not a lot of extra money to spend on things like new clothes and batons from the fancy gymnastics store. Still, they always find a way to make ends meet. Then Birdie makes one silly mistake that has a big consequence: Mom loses her job. Now things are more dire than ever, and Birdie knows it’s up to her to fix it.
When Birdie discovers a huge stash of cash in an abandoned house, she just knows it must be the answer to their problems. But the people who left that money behind aren’t willing to give it up so easily. Does 'finders, keepers' count when it’s half a million dollars?
In this heartfelt small-town story from beloved author Edith Cohn, Birdie learns how to balance what’s right for her family - and herself - with what’s the right thing to do.
