High above the city streets, where the wind whips between rooftops and danger hides behind every corner, adventure is waiting for those bold enough to chase it.
Piper never asked to be recruited into a rooftop chase across the city, but when a pirate-mouthed parrot named Captain Claw crash-lands into her life, she finds herself caught in a whirlwind of clues, riddles, and high-flying escapades. One moment she is doing homework, the next she is leaping from building to building, dodging flapping feathers, and unlocking hidden messages that point to something far bigger than she ever imagined.
The Parrot Code is no ordinary puzzle. Somewhere in the city, a secret is ticking toward disaster, and only Piper and Claw stand between chaos and safety. But they are not the only ones searching. A gang of sharp-eyed crows, a rival rooftop crew, and a boy who knows far too much are all closing in. Every leap across the skyline brings new challenges, unexpected allies, and dangerous enemies.
From rooftop birthday parties gone wrong to trampoline park shortcuts, every stop on their wild race is packed with quick thinking, laughter, and edge-of-your-seat moments. Piper must learn to trust her instincts, keep her balance, and decide who she can truly count on when the stakes are sky-high.
With its mix of humor, mystery, and nonstop action, this thrilling middle grade adventure will have readers turning pages late into the night. Along the way, themes of friendship, courage, and problem-solving weave naturally into a story that celebrates curiosity and teamwork.
Perfect for fans of clever clues, daring escapes, and unforgettable animal sidekicks, Piper and the Parrot Code: Secrets, Skies, and a Countdown to Chaos delivers a story that is as heartwarming as it is heart-pounding.
