Synopsis A timid, unpopular boy learns about courage, love, and luck through a school project involving a strong-willed elderly woman, the abandoned house where her son died, and the legend of the Firebird., Twelve-year-old Robert Nobel is a nerd. He admits it. Bullies love him because he's so self-deprecating that he practically hands himself over to his tormentors. When he's paired with nursing home resident Edith Sorel as part of a school arts project, Robert's life is transformed. Ghost houses, the mysterious death of Edith's son, a coat of feathers, and the rush to finish his project before she dies all converge to change Robert in profound ways.
