Why read it?
1 author picked Crowfall as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
All of Vashti Hardy’s books are brilliant, but I recommend Crowfall because Hardy creates an incredibly immersive world – the island of Ironhold – and characters including a mechanical sea monster, a pet robot, and a very brave boy named Orin.

From Sinéad's list on middle grade to sweep you into another world.
