veelachanel 's review for:

Extraordinary Birds by Sandy Stark-McGinnis
5.0

Beautiful and poetic, I spent the whole book wondering what really happened to this child that made her believe so strongly she was a bird. It did kind of explain but honestly in the end I just so badly wanted her to be loved and happy that I was really glad it DIDNT explicitly say what happened. I fell in love with the MC December and her foster mother Eleanor. I also loved the parallel idea of her transgendered friend, who was transitioning to a girl as December was "transitioning" to being a bird.
