A review by helenfarch
The Bird Singers by Eve Wersocki Morris

adventurous dark mysterious medium-paced

3.5

"Lean in! To hear a tale of dark misdeeds.
A cunning foe - a villainess - draws near...
Released from myth, she prowls with feathered tread.
Mistrust her human face - monster she does be."

Laylah and her sister Izzie find themselves on holidays with their mother in a small cottage in the English Lake District. But nothing seems quite right. 

Why is their father not with them?

Why is their mother acting so strange?

What is the peculiar whistling sound that Laylah hears every night at midnight?

Who is the mysterious Lowesdale Stranger and is that who has been appearing in their backyard in the dark of night?

Full of myth and mystery, The Bird Singers is a dark, thrilling middle grade/young adult read that will get your heart racing and maybe, just make you a little more scared of the dark.
