What is Fine Feathered Friend about?

Raju is furious when he is sent to stay on his aunt and uncle’s farm in India while the rest of his family travels to England for a wedding. At first, the unfamiliar chores and quiet countryside make him feel lonely and forgotten. Then a newly hatched chick needs his help. Caring for the tiny bird gives Raju a new purpose, and as their bond grows, he begins to see the farm—and his family—in a different light.
