The Bird Singers by Eve Wersocki Morris
4.0
Look at that amazing cover. I can't stop staring at it, it's so gorgeous.
However, if you do get a copy of this book, make sure you stop staring at it long enough to read the fabulous story inside. Otherwise you'll be depriving yourself of a really great read. It's rare, when a book is based on Eastern European folklore, that it uses anything beyond Baba Yaga (who is an excellent choice for a book, I'm not being rude, Baba!) This book, however, delves far deeper and comes up with a really creepy creature.
The adventures are great. I loved the inclusion of the almost folktale like parts detailing what turns out to be a very important part of the story, and I'm intrigued by the ending! I hope there's another volume planned, so we can find out exactly what was going on there.
A fabulous read for an adventure loving reader, and a great introduction to folklore. Fantastic.
