Description
Feather and Claw is an atmospheric middle-grade fantasy from a prize-winning author, set in 1914 Valencia—perfect for fans of The Invention of Hugo Cabret.
Step into the crowds and join the festivities of the colourful Las Fallas festival in Valencia, 1914. Meet Amparo and Tomas—a girl who is a hawk by day, and a boy who is a panther by night. As dusk and dawn return, they can never meet as human children. But with the help of street-smart Pepe, these unlikely friends have hopes of working together to uncover the mystery of their shared past.
Told alternately with powerful, atmospheric language and immersive full-page illustrations, this fast-paced magical adventure encourages readers to embrace who they are.
