Author John Berendt chronicles the lives of baby blue jays after he notices a nest outside his office window and follows their lives from eggs to hatchlings to full grown birds.

"When Pea, Bee, & Jay hear stories of Gramp's youth, they find each yarn to be wilder than the last. He once had a pet dog, was a professional wrestling champ, and even led a jailbreak out of a can of peas...But when Gramps goes missing, it's up to the trio to bring him home."--
