The two Book Buddies even come as a pair when they're borrowed from the library, so Roger doesn't go on many solo adventures. One day, a boy named Liam is persuaded by his little sister to borrow Roger and Olive before picking up Grandpa from the airport. While Liam is preoccupied with showing Grandpa how grown-up he is, however, Roger the chick wriggles free, only to be accidentally left behind. Could this be the chance that Roger's been waiting for, or will his airport adventure--complete with a too-playful dog and a looming top of the escalator--prove too exciting even for him? If Liam admits his mistake, will he have a chance to show how grown-up he is--and help Roger get back from the Lost and Found?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCynthia Lord\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of award-winning middle-grade fiction titles such as the Newbery Honor Book \u003ci\u003eRules\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTouch Blue\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHalf a Chance\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Handful of Stars\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBecause of the Rabbit\u003c\/i\u003e.
