The Language of Seabirds (Scholastic Gold) - Paperback

by Will Taylor (Author)

A sweet, tender middle-grade story of two boys finding first love with each other over a seaside summer.

The Language of Seabirds joins the Scholastic Gold line, which features award-winning and beloved novels. Includes exclusive bonus content!

Jeremy is not excited about the prospect of spending the summer with his dad and his uncle in a seaside cabin in Oregon. It's the first summer after his parents' divorce, and he hasn't exactly been seeking alone time with his dad. He doesn't have a choice, though, so he goes... and on his first day takes a walk on the beach and finds himself intrigued by a boy his age running by. Eventually, he and Runner Boy (Evan) meet -- and what starts out as friendship blooms into something neither boy is expecting... and also something both boys have been secretly hoping for.

Author Biography

Will Taylor cast his third spell when he was seven and still works for a chocolate company, so that one seems to have worked, too. He is a marketing writer, avid reader, and award-winning children's author, and lives in Seattle surrounded by all the seagulls and not quite too many cozy sweaters. When not writing, Will can be found searching for the perfect bakery and completely losing his cool when he meets longhaired dachshunds.

His books include the School for Wicked Witches series, The Language of Seabirds, Catch That Dog!, Slimed (writing as Liam Gray), Maggie & Abby's Neverending Pillow Fort, and Maggie and Abby and the Shipwreck Treehouse.
