From the New York Times bestselling author of the Last Magician series comes a โsearing and satisfyingโ (Kirkus Reviews) middle grade debut steeped in magical realism about a bird-loving boy who moves to the countryside where he encounters dangerous creatures invading through a rip in the sky.
Xavier T. Fletcher is an Odd Duck. At least, thatโs what everyone in his sleepy little suburb seems to think. Luckily, birds happen to be the aspiring naturalistโs favorite things, so he doesnโt mind the label quite as much as you might expect.
But when Xavierโs father loses his job, everything changes. His family is forced to move to his Nana Susanโs farm. There, he meets Clementine, a strange, messy girl who doesnโt see him as an Odd Duck at all. Too bad she has the unfortunate habit of using her slingshot to hunt the birds he loves. Xavierโs not sure what to think when Clem assures him that they arenโt really birds. Heโs even less sure when he discovers that Clem isnโt lying.
The bird-like creatures come from the Rend, a tear in the sky between our world and the Notherโs, and the objects they carry in their beaks from that cold, dark place are dangerous. Itโs up to Xavier and Clem to find a way to keep the creatures out of our world. But how can he protect the Rend when he suspects Clem hasnโt told him the whole truth about what sheโs doing?
