Captain Tweakerbeak's Revenge

Noreen Catherwood may look prissy in her lacy socks and perfect dresses, but underneath she has the heart of a fighter. And what fights she and Calliope have!

Calliope says she's safe at home plate, but Noreen says she's out, and since she's the referee, what she says goes–not even Calliope's best bribe can get her to change her mind. Calliope's determined to make friends with this amazing person. And of course, when a girl like Calliope sets her mind to anything, it's bound to happen.

As their friendship blossoms, the two girls realize that, despite some obvious differences, they have a lot in common. Including a love for Captain Tweakerbeak, Noreen's African Grey parrot. Calliope has never seen such a wonderful bird–it's exactly the kind of pet her father would want her to have. And since she's convinced he's watching over her like a cloud of mist or a friendly ghost, doesn't that mean Captain Tweakerbeak should live with her? Noreen will never miss him . . . will she?
