"A powerful read exploring issues of self-esteem and identity," The Guardian Bookshop
--This text refers to an alternate
Paperback
edition.
From the Author
This is a short, fast-moving, easy read. It's brilliant for reluctant readers - and if your first language isn't English.
Crow Girl was born when I saw crows following an old man round the park; he told me he trained them with dog biscuits. The story of a lonely girl who could call crows started to form itself in my brain. Because of the crows, Lily starts to like herself, and so become attractive. She takes risks, and stands up to the girls bullying her.
There's nothing magic in this story - it could happen to you.

My 10 year old dyslexic daughter loved this book! She find books at her reading level very dull but this wasn't!

I didn't like the book because I found the plot unrealistic. No-one can go from zero to hero in one day.Like everything it takes time get friends and time to lose them.This is a more childish kind of plot I had to check if it was a young adults book or not. Other than that it had good characters and things.

Lily is an outsider. Girls bully her, boys don't know she'd alive. She begins to hide from her troubles at the nearby Wakeless Woods. But she s not alone. The crows are there. Watching. When she finds the crows, she finds herself - and a burning need to show everyone at school the new Lily. Will this Halloween be a night to remember?
This book is a Barrington Stoke book - they specialise in books for struggling and dyslexic readers and their stories are varied and engaging. You could call it a 'quick read' book - at only 70 pages I picked it up and didn't put it down until I'd finished it, about 30 minutes later. Lily is a character that a lot of readers can identify with - she's the outsider, forced to be something she's not to avoid teasing and bullying from her fellow classmates. The story is simple yet engaging - I'd recommend it to any fans of YA books. You get to see Lily grow up and become who she wants to be, which kept me reading. She forms a relationships with a gang (well I suppose I could put murder) of crows and unwittingly, the crows really help her become popular at school. A must-read, I'm looking forward to reading the sequel.
