The Haunting of Wounded Birds
$13.99 online at Bookshop.org
For years the villagers of Combe Hurst have celebrated Gala Day, a chance to feast, remember, and thank the land. The death of his mother brings Jack Jackdaw Dawtrey here to live with a half-sister he never knew existed. The life he thought he had is stolen, leaving him adrift in a rural village of crows, willow poppets, and a sinister structure on the hill. Under the floorboards he finds an old journal, something no one can take away. As he unravels the enigmatic words, he is drawn into the life of a boy from more than two hundred years ago, a boy whose family dealt in death and whose name is still whispered when lanterns are lit. As Gala Day and its strange customs approach, Jackdaw is caught in a ritual steeped in the past that threatens to devour him.
