Hi friends,

Silver the crow scientist here!

Flaptastic news: the humans have written their first novel!

In this eco-fantasy inspired by Sufi literature, a thirteen-year-old “bird nerd” must travel to the sky realm of ideal bird habitats to save her father and the birds.

You’ll like this one if you enjoy:

1. Diverse, feminist protagonists (check!)

2. Fantasy fiction inspired by West Asian and North African traditions (check!)

3. Lab coats (No? Just me?)

Anycaw, make sure you’ve signed up for their newsletter below, so you don’t miss it.

See ya in a few wingbeats,
