Life and Times of Birdie Mae Hayes

A plucky girl from small-town Alabama is in for a big surprise! Birdie Mae Hayes has pretty much the perfect life. Her best friend Sally lives just down the street, she's becoming friends with the new boy in town, and Halloween is coming up. Her little brother Bubba drives her crazy sometimes, but whose doesn't? Except, lately, Birdie can't stop feeling like something is about to happen. Then she starts seeing things happen-before they happen! It turns out her Grandma Mae has the same ability. But Birdie doesn't know if she's ready to take on the responsibility of this "gift." Still, with the right attitude and some practice, she could help a lot of people. One thing's for sure: life is going to be real interesting from now on!

Birdie has a new pet-that no one else can see! Birdie Mae Hayes is getting a handle on her new gift: her ability to sense and see things before they happen. Then, one morning, a fluffy white cat appears at her window, making himself at home. Cute! She names him Henry. Only . . . no one else can see this cat. Just Birdie. Here we go again! Even Grandma Mae doesn't know why Henry the cat is there. But he keeps showing up, and he seems to know things that even Birdie's gift doesn't show her. Is he there to help Birdie-or is there something he needs from her? Birdie is ready to find out on an adventure all over town!
