Tracy Edward Wymer's latest middle grade novel, Soar, is the story of seventh grader Eddie, who sets off on a bird-watching quest to find an elusive golden eagle after his father leaves home for good. There are so many bird jokes we could make about unflappable Eddie (sorry) and his quest, but Wymer's got that covered in a Behind the Book essay, wherein he shares his tumultuous birding beginnings.
