Skyborn: Sparrow Rising
In the Clandoms, everyone is born with wings, and tight-knit communities are formed around bird types with rigid hierarchies dictating its citizens destinies. Young Ellie Meadows dreams of joining the Goldwings (famed knights who defend all the Clandoms), but being a sparrow it's highly unlikely that she can be anything but a farmer . . .
With superb world-building and a hefty dose of emotional depth, Skyborn offers a fantastical tale that tackles important contemporary issues including racism, classism, privilege, and systematic oppression as it challenges ideas of right, wrong, and what truly makes a hero.
“One of my favorite books of the year so far, this fantasy adventure checks all the boxes with a genuine, courageous main character and complicated companions, plus themes of magic, secrets, and growing up." -- Imagination Soup
