A humorous, big-hearted romp through the apocalypse, where even a cowardly crow can become a hero. Perfect for fans of Dawn of the Dead and Isaac Marion's Warm Bodies. 'A thoroughly enjoyable account of the end of the world as we know it. The Secret Life of Pets meets The Walking Dead.' Karen Joy Fowler 'It's transformative, poignant, and funny as hell. S.T. the irrepressible, cursing crow is my new favourite apocalyptic hero.' Helen Macdonald, New York Times bestselling author of H Is for Hawk S.T. is a domesticated crow. He is a bird of simple pleasures: hanging out with his owner Big Jim, trading insults with Seattle's wild crows (those idiots) and enjoying the finest food humankind has to offer: Cheetos. But when Big Jim's eyeball falls out of his head, S.T. starts to feel like something isn't right. His most tried-and-true remedies - from beak-delivered beer to the slobbering affection of the loyal, but dim-witted, dog Dennis - fail to cure his owner. S.T. is left with no choice but to venture out into a frightening new world, where he discovers that the neighbours are devouring each other, and the local wildlife is abuzz with rumours of dangerous new predators roaming Seattle... Humanity's extinction has arrived, and the only one determined to save it is a foul-mouthed crow. Readers love Hollow Kingdom... 'Beguilingly different' Bookist (starred review) '...wildly original and inventive, funny and profane' Laurie Frankel, author of This is How It Always Is 'I love this book so much! I wanted to set it on fire while hugging it.' Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet

Crows in the Autumn Sky is a novel loosely based on my childhood love affairs with a gray-and-white kitten, a scab-nosed stray tomcat and a strutting, fast-talking, hat-stealing, tail-pulling, ear-tweaking, let-me-sell-you-a-used car pet crow named Sam. When you're a kid and you love animals, you're going to get wounded when they die. I was wounded when, at age four, I saw my kitten slowly strangled by neighborhood bullies. I was wounded when my old tomcat died from rat poisoning, his belly wrenching as foul goop oozed from both ends. But the unkindest cut of all struck when two drunken hunters shot Sam, the love of my young life, off a telephone wire one cold November morn. Now, over fifty years later, I can still see him tumbling across that cold, blue sky. And in my imagination, I run as I did half a century ago, trying to catch Sam before he hit the ground. And I relive the fight I had, an eleven-year-old kid, kicking, clawing and biting two grown men armed with shotguns before they picked me up and flung me into a muddy ditch. Those two hunters are the last of a series of bullies I had to contend with as a kid. The kitten strangler, Richie Baldini, haunts me still, gap-toothed, grinning, a greenish-yellow snot bubble ballooning in and out of one nostril as he swings my kitten around and around at the end of a piece of yo-yo twine. And there is The Man with Sunburned Arms. He grabbed Sam when the silly bird hopped into the cab of his pickup truck to swipe a piece of tinfoil jutting from a pack of Lucky Strike cigarettes. I still remember the knee-knocking, pant-piddling terror I felt while trespassing into the man's yard to release Sam from the three-foot by three-foot cage into which he'd been stuffed. Another bully is myself, confronted when I'm part of a gang that catches Richie when he's at the "Frog Ditch," stuffing firecrackers into frog's mouths, lighting the fuses and throwing the frogs like hand grenades. We catch Richie, peel his pants down around his knees, then prepare to let a tin can full of irate crayfish pinch him where it'll do the most good. I can still see my mother as she comes running in answer to Richie's pitiful, calf-like bawls. Her brown hair tracing frantic streaks before her eyes, she digs her nails into my arm, yanks me out of the frog ditch and rescues me from the dark, slimy side of myself. Since the setting of "Crows" is Small Town, Illinois in 1943-1945, WWII provides the backdrop of the adventures and conflicts experienced in those days. We kids fought battles against Jap snipers and Nazi SS troopers with pea shooters, rubber band guns and crab apple hand grenades while the battles of Normandy and Leyte Gulf boomed out of the big floor model Philco radio in the living room of our old, creaky-floored house. Our imaginations, mine especially, ran like energetic kittens scurrying up and down living room drapes. The old storage shed in the vacant lot next door was an Egyptian tomb. The garbage cans in our back alley were either German Tiger tanks or woolly mammoths, depending on my mood. But something I had difficulty imagining, however, was a God who could create a world that, as I grew older, seemed driven by stuff more rotten than good. To the rescue comes my old man. A few days after Sam's death the two of us go hiking through the Illinois Dunes, inhaling and enjoying the variety and energy of life. Canadian geese are veeing up and honking their way south. Flocks of redwing black birds warble and chirr. Passing by a nearly dried up pond, we see dozens of huge carp stranded in the muck. And this is how the novel ends. My old man and I slog into the muck, grab the cap one at a time and, pretending they are lovely princesses struck by an evil spell, kiss them on the lips before dumping them into nearby stream. What a strange, exhilarating joy gushes from our Quixotic deed. I couldn't save my crow, but Dad and I are saving those muddy, slimy carp. And there is beauty in their being a

Common Critters celebrates neighborhood wildlife in verse. A familiar cast of characters—worms, slugs, caterpillars, ladybugs, robins, mourning doves, houseflies, spiders, squirrels, skunks, and others—crawls, runs, buzzes, and flits through these lively poems, which show how exotic these seemingly ordinary creatures really are. Dan Tavis’s humorous illustrations crank up the delight, and a child wanting to learn more will find it in the natural-history backmatter. Pat Brisson employs a variety of verse forms in the book, and she shows how it’s done in a back-of-book feature called “A Peek into the Poet’s Toolkit.” Common Critters is a three-tool STEAM book with delightful reading, natural history, and language skills rolled into one.

“I loved every single page.” —Elton John “The best piece of nature writing since H is for Hawk.” —Neil Gaiman In this moving, critically acclaimed memoir, a young man saves a baby magpie as his estranged father is dying, only to find that caring for the mischievous bird saves him. One spring day, a baby magpie falls out of its nest and into Charlie Gilmour’s hands. Magpies, he soon discovers, are as clever and mischievous as monkeys. They are also notorious thieves, and this one quickly steals his heart. By the time the creature develops shiny black feathers that inspire the name Benzene, Charlie and the bird have forged an unbreakable bond. While caring for Benzene, Charlie learns his biological father, an eccentric British poet named Heathcote Williams who vanished when Charlie was six months old, is ill. As he grapples with Heathcote’s abandonment, Charlie comes across one of his poems, in which Heathcote describes how an impish young jackdaw fell from its nest and captured his affection. Over time, Benzene helps Charlie unravel his fears about repeating the past—and embrace the role of father himself. A bird falls, a father dies, a child is born. Featherhood is the unforgettable story of a love affair between a man and a bird. It is also a beautiful and affecting memoir about childhood and parenthood, captivity and freedom, grief and love.
