"Charming and darkly funny, this debut has definite shades of Roald Dahl--it's a natural successor to Matilda and The Witches. Middle-grade readers who like their fairy tales playing against the rules and their adventure stories with a dash of humor will gobble this up." -- ALA Booklist"I absolutely ADORED Birdie's story from beginning to end. The most charming book, footnotes and all!" -- Liesl Shurtliff, New York Times bestselling author of Rump"Dragons, witches, and resourceful orphans? Magic, adventure, and friendship? There is so much to love about Birdie's tragical tale!" -- Jessica Day George, New York Times bestselling author of the Tuesdays at the Castle series
