Summer and Bird

(4) 4-6 Fairy-tale imagery meets allegory in this charming fantasy. Sisters Summer and Bird discover their parents have disappeared overnight, and a clue leads them into the nearby forest--and then into the ravaged bird-populated world of Down. Separated, they must find their parents, vanquish the voracious fowl-eating Puppeteer, and save the birds. Despite lovely language, a listless pace will lose many readers.
