Summer and Bird
Summer and Bird | Katherine Catmull
5 posts | 10 read | 8 to read
An enchanting--and twisted--tale of two sisters' quest to find their parents When their parents disappear in the middle of the night, young sisters Summer and Bird set off on a quest to find them. A cryptic picture message from their mother leads them to a familiar gate in the woods, but comfortable sights quickly give way to a new world entirely--Down--one inhabited by talking birds and the evil Puppeteer queen. Summer and Bird are quickly separated, and their divided hearts lead them each in a very different direction in the quest to find their parents, vanquish the Puppeteer, lead the birds back to their Green Home, and discover the identity of the true bird queen. With breathtaking language and deliciously inventive details, Katherine Catmull has created a world unlike any other, skillfully blurring the lines between magic and reality and bringing to life a completely authentic cast of characters and creatures.

I interview author Katherine Catmull in my She Wore Black podcast, where we talk about the sense it wonder in the book as well as the haunting yet beautiful imagery. Please follow the She Wore Black podcast on Instagram and Facebook for updates on more author interviews!

This book is gorgeous inside and out... and I don‘t even have the dust jacket with me to take a picture of the beautiful cover!

Summer and Bird called to me from the shelf... after Roses and Rot, it seemed like another sister story was in order. Plus, it fit nicely for #LitsyAtoZ letter S. 😊 I loved the fairy-tale feel, the sister dynamics were so well-done, and the villain was truly creepy—manipulative, insidious, and believable. Another pick!

Sometimes there is a seed in your heart. It might feel like a stone, or like a bud ready to blossom. It might feel like a hard, burning ember. No seed is the same. But if you let that seed, that feeling-sound, take root, then it will grow. Sometimes it grows quickly, or sometimes very slowly, especially if you don‘t tend it. It could take months or even years to grow... But when you do finally speak it, the birds call that a heart-song.

Possibly the last "fun" book I'll be reading for a while :/ so far I'm loving the whimsy atmospheric setting; it pairs well with the omniscient narrator. And this cover is just magical!
