About the Book

Ava is about to turn 12. She is also about to discover an extraordinary secret about her long-lost mother—and herself.

This thoroughly compelling, gorgeously told tale begins as the weather turns warm enough to swim in the local lake, Ava is looking forward to a lazy summer, and her crush, Jeff, is most definitely taking notice of her. Everything is going beautifully for Ava... until she starts to grow feathers. Is she some kind of freak? Or something truly special?
