Nerdy Birdy and his best friend, Vulture, are very different. Nerdy Birdy loves video games, but Vulture finds them BORING. Vulture loves snacking on dead things, but Nerdy Birdy finds that GROSS. Luckily, you don't have to agree on everything to still be friends. One day, Nerdy Birdy joins Tweetster, and the friend requests start flying in. Vulture watches as Nerdy Birdy gets swept up in his new friendships, but when she finally gets angry, Nerdy Birdy knows just what to do to make things right.
"There's a lesson here about how easy it is to misread and misuse tone when it comes to electronic communication, but it's the entertaining birds-of-a-feather friendship dynamic that's the biggest tweet, er, treat for readers."--Horn Book
