Mirabella Crow Learns to Sing

By Samuel Spitzer

A crow who wishes to sing, unwittingly violating the sacred laws of her kind. A twelve-year-old boy, crushed in his life, his only escape - music.

Despite the prophecy beaked down from time immemorial that crows live solely to honor the sacred Word, Awk, risking the gift of flight if they fail, Mirabella Crow, marked by three feathers of white, dreams of learning to sing.

David Parker doesn't even dare dream. Bullied both at home and school, he lives for the ordinary magic of feeding the crows and playing out what he feels through the piano.

When Mirabella overhears David practicing after a brutal day at school, she is moved to investigate, in spite of stern warning from the leader of her Clan that song is "Not the Crow Way."

Worlds cross as these two beings slowly understand, befriend, and teach one other. But will they learn what they need to survive before unseen forces set in motion by their friendship threaten everything they hold dear?
