Cygnet Spring (The Bird Brain Books)

Eric and Wind, are two cousins spending the summer at their favorite lake. They meet a new friend while skipping rocks one day. She's a magical swan with a mute voice and no flock. The cousins think she's beautiful, and spend their summer learning about all the ways that friendship can help somebody heal.
Then, a twist of fate leaves the three with a giant decision. Will they stay together and overcome an evil enemy? What happens when a boy becomes a bird? Can they really save their family from a terrible curse?
This Bird Brain Book is written for readers of all ages. It carries a special message: found family and love can defeat evil.

I grew up reading novels like The Rats of Nimh, Momo, and My Side of the Mountain. My books are inspired by these tales that stretch the imagination, push us outside our comfort zone, and take us on a journey that is more than just miles.
I'm an anthropologist, writer and mother living in the misty hills of the oregon coast where I care for abandoned animals, spend many days rock hounding, and grow three beautiful children. Having seen the evils of humans from a young age, I learned to climb into books and out of my own skin. I write for the young people who understand life is hard and curling up with a good book can tend deep wounds. May these stories provide escape and solace to the reader.
