Arlo is a crow whose only friend is Pips, a small bird who challenges him on his thought processes. Despite Arlo being smart (as crows are), the other birds in his hometown called him names (poopyhead). He doesn't want to go home anymore. But Arlo is lonely, so Pips introduces him to the crows at the park. Arlo makes friends with a girl crow named Marla and they fall in love. A cute, cheesy graphic novel for young readers full of crow and animal facts as well as a few points to comment on how much humans waste/litter.
