I really enjoyed this book. I connected with the main character, the plot was well written, and it was an amazing story. I could not put this book down. The story will draw you in and never let go till you finish it. This is a Newbery worthy book. I am not sure though if guys would like it but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend this book for elementary and middle school girls.
This book is a quintessential mystery. The entire mystery revolved around birds -which is quite a feat to write- and was without a doubt, one of the least predictable books I’ve ever read! It’s very realistic, as some of the clues turn out to have incomplete, insufficient information, or turn out as a false trail.
This was a great book!!! the writing and everything about this book rocks!!! This book could totally win!!!
