A missing budgie inspires an unlikely friendship between a young boy and his elderly neighbour in this touching Little Gem from Children's Laureate Joseph Coelho. Mr Buxton is always having a go at Miles and his friends for climbing the trees outside their tower block. They think he's just a grumpy old man but when Miles finds a lost little budgie it will bring him and Mr Buxton together and show him that they have more in common than he could ever have imagined.
