Chapter 21: The Last Day of School

The school year is over, and the friends compare notes about their adventures with the Magic Parrot. Kwai tells them about her own experiment—and how she eventually started over and did a real interview with her old swimming coach. Lulu realizes that sometimes the best part of learning something is actually doing it yourself.

Chapter 20: Helping or Hindering

The class hands in their articles, and Mr. Henry asks whether anyone tried using the Magic Parrot. Lulu explains what happened when he used it to write and edit his article. The class starts to understand an important question: how do you know whether AI is actually helping you?

Chapter 19: The Absolute Best Interview Ever Written

It’s Friday morning, and Kwai finally checks on her parrots. She finds a giant pile of paper, five very hot parrots, and an article that still isn’t very good. Maybe adding more parrots wasn’t the solution after all.

Chapter 18: The Judges

Kwai’s parrot-powered writing team isn’t producing very good articles. So she adds two more parrots to judge the work. Now there are five parrots working together. Surely that will fix everything.

Chapter 17: A Complicated Plan

Kwai has a new idea. Instead of asking one Magic Parrot to do everything, why not use several parrots, each with a different job? One can interview. One can answer. One can write. What could possibly go wrong? Links Download the Book PDF — includes a “For Grown Ups” section Download the EPUB Buy physical and ebook copies from Amazon Get in touch at simonlandry.com

Chapter 16: A Little Bit of Help

Lulu has a pile of messy notes and asks the Magic Parrot to help turn them into sentences. The result sounds great. There’s just one problem: the parrot has added a detail that wasn’t in the interview. And this mistake is much harder to spot.

Chapter 15: Learning to Listen

The friends discover that interviewing someone is harder than it looks. With some help from Tayo, Lulu learns how to ask good questions and take useful notes. Then he interviews Ms. Omaya at the library.

Chapter 14: The Final Project

Spring arrives, and the school year is almost over. Mr. Henry gives the class one final assignment: interview someone in the community and write an article about what they learn. Lulu has an idea for how the Magic Parrot might help.

Chapter 13: The Lesson

Mr. Henry helps the class understand what went wrong. The Magic Parrot can follow rules, but it can’t always tell when a situation is normal, strange, or meant to trick it. And writing a rule for every possible thing a person might do is harder than it sounds.

Chapter 12: The Perfect Rules

After the popcorn disaster, the class tries to come up with a perfect set of rules for the Magic Parrot. But no matter how many rules they write, they keep finding new ways around them. Maybe the problem is that people are just too creative.
