His life changes when an African-American girl, Rosie Lee, comes to live next door and provides him with a positive role-model. He begins to take interest in school and his behaviour improves with the encouragement of a sympathetic teacher.

The main plot is framed by two short chapters which present Gowie as an adult with a young family, the latter chapter providing a twist ending.
Title: Corvus: A Life with Birds
Content:  The book details the family's bird rescues, mostly consisting of crows. The rook Chicken was adopted by Woolfson as a fledgling and she began feeding the bird a diet of minced meat, eggs, and nuts. Chicken's full name is Madame Chickeboumskaya, after an American drag queen. Chicken has a habit of hoarding food in boot laces, using a table to incubate infertile eggs, and following Woolfson around the house. The rook is able to go wherever she wants to in the house and she "sleeps, bathes, roosts, and preens" in Woolfson's office. Chicken acts similar to a cat or dog and was 18 years old when the book was written. Woolfson's life with Spike, Ziki, and other birds are documented. Interspersed in the book is information about bird experts and the science about the birds.
