Description
Book Synopsis
"Even the smallest spark can set the darkest night ablaze." Twig never imagined himself at the center of anything important--let alone a battle for the fate of the Woodland Realm. But when his peaceful village is attacked by the ruthless Fortress Crows, the young chickadee finds himself on the run, hunted by a terrifying sorceress and her winged army. Thankfully, he's not alone. Alongside a cunning bard, a fearless warrior, and two mischievous tumblers--who cause almost as much trouble as they solve--Twig embarks on a journey to uncover an ancient power and prevent history from repeating its darkest (and dumbest) mistakes. Perfect for fans of Watership Down, Redwall, and The Green Ember, The Unraveling is a sweeping middle-grade fantasy adventure of courage, rebellion, and destiny. With pulse-pounding action, unforgettable characters, and a world as rich as it is dangerous, this is a story for anyone who believes even the smallest hero can change the world.Review Quotes
"The Unraveling: The Counsel of Crows" is an original, riveting, middle-grade fantasy action/adventure story of courage, rebellion, and destiny. Replete with pulse-pounding action, unforgettable anthropomorphic characters, and an imaginatively crafted world as rich as it is dangerous, "The Unraveling" is a fully entertaining story unreservedly recommended for elementary school, middle school, and community library Fantasy Fiction collections for young readers ages 8-12 -- and anyone else who believes even the smallest hero can change the world!"--Midwest Book Review "https: //www.midwestbookreview.com/cbw/jun_25.htm"
"The story reflects on the evils that man has done to the world, by deforestation, animal exploitation and the pollution of the air and waters. It's not in a heavy handed way, but is more of a reminder of how our choices have consequences. That we all have a shared responsibility of protecting our environment. The authors balance this with the concept of whether it's ok to judge all of a species based on the actions of one individual." --Brenda "GoodReads"
Wow I when I started this book I thought I was going to get a simple but fun adventure story. That was delivered but there was also much depth. The autho[s] weaved in important messages about caring for the environment and the consequences of not doing so. (Studio Ghibli much And I mean that in the best way, in case that isn't clear.) I love to learn and think while reading so that was so appreciated. All of the characters were a joy to read about and I loved the illustrations that were included. I would have been utterly obsessed with this book as a kid and hope there's more to come!--Sri Devi "Net Galley Reviewer"
A wholly absorbing story of intriguing magic, harrowing adventure, and delightful fauna.--Kirkus Reviews "https: //www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/karl-buechner/the-unraveling-buechner/"
[The Unraveling] is much more than an imaginative world filled with unlikely heroes and outrageous villains; it is an imortant work with the capability of teaching young readers about the peril of ignoring others suffering, and the importance of compassion...--Andy Hurley "(Musician, Fall Out Boy)"
The tables are turned in this fantastical, magical, powerful, book in which warfare and domination are put under the microscope, and animal and Earth rights are revealed as the pathway to human understanding. Riveting!--Ingrid Newkirk "(Founder, President PETA International)"
"Funny, emotional, insightful, and powerful, [The Unraveling] is an incredible blend of meaningful insights into our own world told through the lens of adventure fantasy." --Keegan Kuhn "(Award-winning film maker, co-director of Cowspiracy, and They are Trying to Kill Us) "
"The Unraveling is a fast paced, masterful work of imagination in which lovable characters remind us of our duty to preserve earth and animal rights in this vivid fable set in a compelling post-human world."--Moby "(Musician, Producer)"
