Life was ordinary for a majestic bald eagle in the wilds of Alaska until her beak was severely damaged by a bullet shot from the gun of a poacher. Thinking there was no hope for this bird, a raptor biologist took her in and worked with engineers and dentists to recreate a new beak for the bird they named Beauty. With the help of 3D printing technology, a prosthetic beak was made, restoring Beauty to her former glory. Fascinated by this national symbol and other birds of prey? Be sure to spend time reading the end pages. (Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Award 2019-2020)
