De pronto la familia afronta un duro golpe cuando los padres de Robert deciden separarse. El queda devastado por el divorcio de sus padres y prefiere estar encerrado en el ático, pasando la mayoría de su tiempo libre ahí. El periodo de colegio es muy duro para el. Una pandilla de jóvenes de su misma clase de manera constante se burlan de él y llegan hasta golpearlo. Uno de ellos es Martin McDermott, que será una espina dolorosa en el costado de Robert en el futuro. Un día Robert se encuentra con una urraca, que vuela a través de la ventana del ático y a la vida de Robert. El le pone por nombre Gale. Lo que no sabe Robert es que Gale no es un pájaro cualquiera. Esta insólita amistad crece entre el adolecente y la urraca, llevando eventualmente a los dos por un camino de delincuencia y robos que se extiende por más de una década y cambia la vida de Robert para siempre.English - SummaryThe story begins in a quiet, suburban neighbourhood of Detroit, where the Lipinski family live with their teenage son Robert, and his younger sister Sarah-Jane. Suddenly the family is dealt a huge blow when Robert’s parents decide to split up. He is left devastated by his parents’ divorce, and locks himself away in the attic, spending most of his free time there. His time at school is also rough. A gang of youths in Robert’s class constantly tease him and beat him up. One of them is Martin McDermott, who will prove to be a thorn in Robert’s side for many years to come. One day Robert encounters a magpie, after she flies in through the attic window and into Robert’s life. He names the bird Gale. What Robert doesn’t realise that Gale is no ordinary bird. The unlikely friendship grows between the teenager and the magpie, eventually leading them both down a path of crime and burglary that spans over a decade, and changes Robert’s life forever.
