Gay-Neck: The Story of a Pigeon by Boris Artzybasheff, Dhan Gopal Mukerji

2.0

I read this as part of my quest to read all of the Newberry winners and I can't say that I was too impressed by this. It was very slice of life and even the parts about the war didn't have very much plot or excitement to them. I admit it was much more entertaining to read the 1 star reads on this site because while I didn't think it was outright horrible it did lack a certain flair that I would have expected from an award winner. I finished it and can barely remember much about it aside from the fact that a boy trained a pigeon, it flew around, got PTSD, the end.
