Blackbird Fly by Erin Entrada Kelly

5.0

Erin Entrada Kelly has quickly become one of my favorite middle grade authors. I read her sophomore novel, THE LAND OF FORGOTTEN GIRLS, first, but this one, her debut, is just as wise and beautiful. Kelly absolutely writes for the forgotten girls of the world and I'm so glad characters like Apple exist. Flawed, fearful, and timid, she finds her strength, her individuality, and BLACKBIRD FLY is a book I will recommend to ever girl I know.
