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. When Orin discovers his island is under threat, and ends up being put to sea in a rickety boat, how can he save his family and home? An unforgettable adventure.
From Sinéad's list on middle grade to sweep you into another world.
