Bestselling author Alice Hoffman’s bewitching Nightbird is perfect for ages 10-13: love and friendship empower a lonely girl to embrace her uniqueness and discover her strengths.

Twig lives in Sidwell, where people whisper that fairy tales are real. After all, her town is rumored to hide a monster. And two hundred years ago, a witch placed a curse on Twig’s family that was meant to last forever. But this summer, everything will change when the red moon rises. It’s time to break the spell.

This is a story that could be listened to by the whole family though it was written for the preteens. Delightful. I like the author very much. This has her depth yet it has more lightness of being than her other works . A nice break when wanting to purisuebreading all of her exquisite works .

Very sweet and compelling story
