In THE REMARKABLE ADVENTURES OF THRASHER AND WREN, debut novelist Victor Nicolle spins a whimsical and thought-provoking tale of transformation, survival, and courage.
Twelve-year-olds Roy Thrasher and Judy Wren - longtime social outcasts - wake up one morning to discover that they've been turned into birds after a mysterious encounter at school. Forced to navigate a world of skies, predators, and uncertain purpose, they soon join a globe-spanning phenomenon know as The Last Migration - where millions of birds are gathering under the leadership of the enigmatic Whiteface.
But what begins as a magical journey becomes a thrilling race to prevent a revolution that could forever change the balance between humans and nature.
Blending humor, heart, and a touch of allegorical fantasy, Thrasher and Wren is a fresh, genre-bending middle-grade novel that explores what it means to belong - and the lengths we'll go to protect what we love.
