Love the idea for this one! Suspense is a great page-turner for me and the kids I serve. Will be adding it to our wish list.

I love the premise of this book and am intrigued about this mystery. I appreciate the writing tips on pacing too to keep readers’ interests and keep pages turning. This book sounds like one I will really enjoy.

The Lit Review Crew, an ARC sharing group of teachers, has this book going around and I was lucky enough to read it recently! I loved it and enjoyed the suspense. I also learned a lot about birds! Thanks for sharing this awesome interview.

This sounds great. I am going to recommend it to our library as a possible book for The Battle of the Books for the middle school competition.

This sounds like a book many of my students would enjoy reading. I will read it this summer, but I will need to do it during daylight hours. I am not as brave as my students.

I keep seeing this book all over twitter! Thanks for the interview. I have enjoyed other stories with that ecological subplot, so I think I would enjoy this one too!
