Nightbird by Alice Hoffman
2.0
Alice Hoffman wrote one of my favorite stories.
I was hoping that magic would strike again.
This is not a bad book though. Just an okay read for me. Maybe I'm too old for the target audience. It is a mid-grade book so that could explain the choppy short sentences and the jumping around in the story line.
I just got bored, but then I'm fully aware that I'm a jaded reader.
The town of Sidwell believes in magic. Flying monster men that steal little things from the townspeople.
Legends abound in the small town and when "the monster" starts leaving graffiti around the town the townspeople decide to go monster hunting.
Twig and her next door neighbor friend try and get to the bottom of the mystery and just failed at entertaining. By the end of the book..I just didn't care.
