When the birds have a message, they will stop at nothing to get your attention.
And when a murmur rises and no one notices, it will grow and grow until the whole sky is filled with its noise.
The birds came, a whole skyful of them. The next day the adults were gone.
Jay is desperate to get off the island to find his mother, but when the adults disappear his only job is to keep everyone alive.
Fee, a mysterious outsider appears, but Jay is sure she's keeping something from him. When she falls dangerously ill, Jay must decide whether he's willing to face his biggest fears to save her.
Murmuration is a Young Adult dystopia with a touch of magic, appealing to fans of Phillip Pullman, Emily St John Mandel, and Rosa Rankin-Gee. Adults and young adults alike will be drawn into Jay and Fee's world... If you like birds, magic, high-stakes adventure and a little love thrown in, then you'll love Murmuration!
