Review Quotes

"Butler's follow-up to Ben and the Bird Girl (2024) continues the story that began with Ben and Benita. This sequel adds some engaging characters (including Olivia's older brother, Jared) and expands upon previously established plot elements, namely the process of bird-human transformation. As in the first installment, the themes are understated and persuasive: Owen struggles to fit in with a group of friends, one of whom doesn't like him . . . {Yet] the story is playful as well; Owen's cowlicks give him "hair horns." The author's no-frills sketches once again offer copious glimpses of nature, with several views of a waterfall standing out as the most indelible images."

This diverting story further develops a winsome ongoing serial. Kirkus Reviews
