Recommend this book to readers who like the Books of Ember series by Jeanne DuPrau." -VOYA "Combines a great fondness for animals with an appreciation of the freakish." -Kirkus Reviews "An enchanted adventure with a message of empowerment and hope that ought to sweep readers along." -Booklist "When ninety-nine pigeons smash through the windows of Kester's prison and carry him North to the last of the animals. it's a moment as thrilling as when James flies off in the Giant Peach. Highly recommended" -The Times (UK)
