This was one of the best middle grade books I have read. I loved that it was mystical, intriguing, and thought provoking. Twig is a mysterious young girl who lives in the equally peculiar town of Sidwell. Twig and Sidwell have their share of secrets. There are rumors of a winged monster which lives in the unearthly woods on the outskirts of town. Twig is a lonely girl who lives a life of hiding with her mother near their family's orchards. When a new family moves into an abandoned cottage, old legends begin to seem true. Twig has to find out how to keep her secrets safe but still live the life she has always wanted. This is a page turner, full of surprises.
“For me, it was a Gold Star day. I'd identified an enemy, and I'd made a life decision: I might come home tore up from fighting or late from being punished, but I'd never come home crying. So far, I ain't.” ― Sheila Turnage, Three Times Lucky
