Recensioner i media

'McGowan is brilliant at balancing fantasy and realism – and the birds’ characters are sufficiently well-painted as to make their transformative friendship the story’s most absorbing element. The simple prose will make the book accessible to children of nine-plus. But the story has an emotional intelligence that will resonate with much older readers– and after 40 or so novels, it will surely rank as one of McGowan’s best.' The Telegraph
