Note:Cam is finally settling into his new life in Laos when tragedy strikes and hes wrongfully accused of murder. 2015 DEWEY DIVA PICK Booklist Top Ten Multicultural Fiction List, Youth Spotlight 2016 Eighteen-year-old Cam Scott is angry. Hes angry about his absent dad, hes angry about being angry, and hes angry that he has had to give up his Ottawa basketball team to follow his mom to her new job in Vientiane, Laos. However, Cams anger begins to melt under the Southeast Asian sun as he finds friendship with his neighbour, Somchai, and gradually falls in love with Nok, who teaches him about building merit, or karma, by doing good deeds, such as purchasing caged merit birds. Tragedy strikes and Cam finds himself falsely accused of a crime. His freedom depends on a person hes never met. A person who knows that the only way to restore his merit is to confess. The Merit Birds blends action, suspense, and humour in a far-off land where things seem so different, yet deep down are so much the same.
