Rafe Martin's Birdwing
Has anyone read Rafe Martin's Birdwing? It is a continuation of the Grimms' "The Six Swans." Published last month by Scholastic's Arthur Levine Books.

Wow, missed that one entirely somehow. Thanks for the head's up, Monica.
Here's an Amazon link where the readers love it so far...

Re: Rafe Martin's Birdwing
I read it recently and was surprised when I went looking to see nary a review about. So far, I've only found Kirkus, Bookpage, and just this past weekend, Elizabeth Ward's in the Washington Post. All have been quite enthusiastic. I find it a bit nervewracking to suddenly come across a new book, like it a lot, and then hear nothing much about it! (I'm on a committee to select notable children's books for the language arts so see and read and think a lot about new books.)
I'm eager to hear feedback from folks here (since you all have a particularly appreciation of modern fairy tale variants) on this one. Hope some of you give it a try!
Thanks,
Monica
