As her family leads a group of whooping cranes north from Texas to Canada, Eliza discovers that the smallest crane, Maggie, is homesick, and wonders how she can help her.
One of a series based on the Wild Thornberrys, a Nickelodeon cartoon. This is pretty much the story of training cranes to follow an ultralight so they learn to migrate, plus a few complications. Very light story, maybe 2nd grade content.
