Summary (from verso page)

"Passenger pigeon hatchlings, thought to be extinct, are discovered in Grandmother's room after she departs on a voyage to Greenland."

"Grandmother has turned out to be far more mysterious than anyone in her family knew. And when she hitches a ride on a passing porpoise and heads for Greenland, what are they going to do--especially after they find a just-hatched next of birds in her bedroom? The windows are shut, the door tightly closed--could the stuffed passenger pigeon on Grandmother's shelf have had anything to do with it?"
