Crow is a 12-year-old girl with an enigmatic past. She had washed up on one of the Elizabeth Islands as a baby. Osh, the man who discovered her, is attempting to flee his own history — however, he still takes Crow in. As Crow grows more mature, she begins to wonder about her own background, including not only where she came from and who her parents were, but also why the other islanders don't appear to want to touch her. Her only companion is Miss Maggie, a neighborhood healer who informs her that the locals suspect Crow is a colony escapee from a nearby island. Crow finds more danger and questions as she starts looking for hints from her history. Will she be able to uncover the truth?
I recommend this book because it is a fun and enjoyable read that takes young readers on an emotional, thrilling, and hopeful rollercoaster.
