I am reviewing a copy of The Good Hawk Through Candlewick Press/Walker Books Us and Netgalley:


This journey will transport you to a Mythical Scotland.


Agatha, is a brave and fierce Hawk.  She protects her people by patrolling the high walls of their island home, this is a job she is proud of, despite the fact that some in the Clan say it is simply to get her out of the way, due to the condition she was born with.


After disaster strikes and the Clan is kidnapped it is up to Agatha and Jaimie to travel across the haunted mainland of Scotia to Norveg, they get help along the way from a clan of Nomadic bull riders.  Many animals are drawn to Agatha’s way of communicating.





Jaimie who is thoughtful, and anxious is an Angler, but he hates the sea.  Worse yet he’s been chosen to Mary something his Clan hasn’t required in generations.  The elders won’t tell him why they have promised him to a girl in a neighboring clan, but there are rumors of approaching danger.



If you are looking for a thrilling, dark, and rich novel, may I recommend  The Good Hawk.


I give The Good Hawk five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!
