Future rock star or friendless misfit? That's no choice at all. In
this acclaimed novel by Newbery Medalist Erin Entrada Kelly,
twelve-year-old Apple grapples with being different; with friends
and backstabbers; and with following her dreams. Publishers Weekly
called Blackbird Fly "a true triumph," and the Los Angeles Times
Book Review said, "Apple soars like the eponymous blackbird of her
favorite Beatles song." Apple has always felt a little different
from her classmates. She and her mother moved to Louisiana from the
Philippines when she was little, and her mother still cooks
Filipino foods and chastises Apple for becoming "too American."
When Apple's friends turn on her and everything about her life
starts to seem weird and embarrassing, Apple turns to music. If she
can just save enough to buy a guitar and learn to play, maybe she
can change herself. It might be the music that saves her . . . or
it might be her two new friends, who show her how special she
really is. Erin Entrada Kelly deftly brings Apple's conflicted
emotions to the page in her debut novel about family, friendship,
popularity, and going your own way. "A must-read for those kids
cringing at their own identities."-Bulletin of the Center for
Children's Books.
Being lost can sometimes be the first step toward finding your
destiny. A Junior Library Guild Selection Forbidden to become a
pilot by her overprotective father, Amelia Erroway yearns to
command her own airship. To prove her worth, she sets off alone on
her father's prized craft. But disaster strikes: A fierce storm
crashes her ship in uncharted lands and Amelia, now a castaway,
must use her wits to survive. With the help of Rastor and Fynley,
brothers who live deep in the Juniper rainforest, Amelia is
determined to repair her airship and, with her newly formed crew,
fly home.
