Nightbird by Alice Hoffman

4.0

Twelve year old Twig is guarding a family secret, and lives a lonely life. Living in her century’s old family house, she accepts the life she has because she loves her family. Until one day when a new family moves in to the cottage next door, and she finds a best friend. Join Twig and Julia as they embark on a mystical journey to break a 200 year old curse that began with their families’ ancestors. Nightbird is a bittersweet story of friendship, love, and having the best of both worlds.
