Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley

Not Just Another Dying Girl Story.

Aza Ray is getting sicker by the day. Struggling to breathe from the rare illness she’s carried since birth, Aza feels like her lungs are slowly filling up with feathers. When Aza begins to hear the birds around her calling out her name, she knows something very strange is happening. Then, in a moment of blackout, Aza awakens to find herself in a land of flying pirate ships and talking bird people. Where is she?

Magonia



This book is a juxtaposition of tragic realism, boy meets girl and the most fantastical story of mid-sky magic since Peter Pan! Our readers have been snaffling up all available copies of Magonia since it came out in April this year. Our librarians have been promoting it a lot too and we love to use this little book trailer from Epic Reads to help describe the complicated plot.
