How I Became a Bird Brain

Tracey is thankful she survived a serious car accident with nothing worse than a bang on the head and a lingering headache. Still, she's pretty bummed it happened over Christmas vacation! Plus, she has to drop all her extracurricular activities!

Dr. Gates is being too cautious with his restrictions, she thinks, until one day, Tracey starts to hear voices!

Everyone is at school or work; no one is near or in the house. Then what is Tracey hearing? "Think, Tracey, think!" she tells herself aloud. Only then does she realize these are not real sounds but impressions of voices-inside her head! People who hear things are crazy, aren't they?

Enjoy this account of injury, healing, and a great big surprise! Can Tracey keep this secret from her twin and family? Should she?
