- Wringer by Jerry Spinelli is the story of Palmer LaRue who has been dreading the day he turns 10. In his town, 10-year-olds get the job of "wringer" at the annual festival: Pigeon Day, where 5,000 pigeons are released from crates to be shot down in a competition for a sharpshooter award, which Palmer's father has won. The "wringers" run around the field and wring the necks of pigeons to ensure they're dead.

A big problem arises when a pigeon lands on Palmer's windowsill and becomes his secret pet, named Nipper!
