Some thoughts of Kymberly Clem
Kymberly Clem
In the much-anticipated second instalment of Feather and Bone: The Crow Chronicles, a mysterious plague hits the Kinaar family. Crows lie dead all around the Gathering Tree and the terrified survivors scatter. Sick and alone, Kyp knows only that he must find Kym, who has been captured by humans and taken far to the east.A crow without a flock flies on only one wing, and Kyp has no one to keep watch or provide warning when danger threatens. But gradually other crows join him in his relentless journey — deep into the heart of a vast and frightful human colony. 3
Clem Martini?s clear language invites readers into the world of the crows. Cars become ?moving boxes.? A rabbit probably ate shooting stars and pooped lightning to become so fast. Now there?s a vivid image. The challenges of the escape invite and destroy the fragile community of the flock. This story will appeal to those who like animal stories, fantasy, and quest tales. Its message of courage and cooperation offers life lessons for readers. Recommended for middle schoolers. 2

New Search
Encourage animal-loving readers to bury their beaks in this first entry in the Crow Chronicles trilogy, which provides a perfect segue to the more exhaustively evoked universes of Adams’ classic Watership Down and David Clement-Davies’ Fire Bringer (2000). During the annual migration, escalating conflicts threaten to split the members of the Kinaar Family forever. Then a dangerous blizzard strikes, and ostracized hothead Kyp and two friends serve the flock in a way that casts their tradition-defying attitudes in a positive light. It’s no easy task to drum up sympathy for main characters generally regarded as unsavory pests, and Martini meets the challenge admirably, parlaying facts about crow behavior into a convincing, wholly absorbing anthropomorphic society. 4
