What would you do if you were sitting on a park bench, minding your own business, and suddenly a pigeon started talking to you-in a meticulous British accent, no less-and pleaded with you to untie a piece of string that had accidentally attached his leg to a wrought iron fence? And what if, while you are still convinced that this is all just a nasty trick, a hawk swoops down to capture the pigeon and curses at you for stopping him?
Jennifer (13), her brother James (11), and his allergy-prone friend, Sleepy, decide to help the pigeon-actually a man named Arthur Whitehair-who turned himself into a pigeon 150 years earlier by misreading an ancient spell. Meanwhile, Arthur's unscrupulous colleague, Malman, also had been turned into a hawk by Whitehair's blunder, and after years of searching, is out for revenge, aided by his human assistant, the ruthless Drescher..Can Jennifer and companions reverse the spell for Arthur before he is eaten by the hawk? And why is Jennifer having weird dreams in which a man with curly red hair speaks cryptic phrases in Latin?
