Best-selling author David Elliott examines the timeless themes of
balance, transformation, and restoration in this evocative tale about a
girl who will stop at nothing to reverse a curse that turned her seven
brothers into ravens.
And these are the sons
Of good Jack and good Jane
The eldest is Jack
And the next one is Jack
And the third one's called Jack
And the fourth's known as Jack
And the fifth says he's Jack
And they call the sixth Jack
But the seventh's not Jack
The seventh is Robyn
And this is his story
When Robyn and his brothers are turned into ravens through the work of
an unlucky curse, a sister is their only hope to become human again.
Though she's never met her brothers, April will stop at nothing to
restore their humanity. But what about Robyn, who always felt a greater
affinity to the air than to the earth-bound lives of his family?
David Elliott's latest novel in verse explores the unintended
consequences of our actions, no matter our intentions, and is filled
with powerful messages teased from a Grimms' fairy tale. Stunning
black-and-white illustrations throughout by Rovina Cai.
