I really enjoyed 'Fledgling' it was a creepy unsettling book with a bizarre house full of secrets, a dysfunctional family, mythical beings and fierce battles.
Cassie lives in Bavaria in a bizarre house high above the village. Her mother is a reclusive opera singer and her father a taxidermist with mixed results are always too busy to give her much attention. She spends much of her time roaming around the house alone, caring for her very ill gandmother or in the forest with her friend. When Cassie finds an unusual creature that needs her help a chain of events is begun which sees her battling for her life, family and best friend.
This was a really enjoyable middle grade book. Cassie is a great character, fearless in her bravery, empathy and love for those she holds dear. I really enjoyed the unexpected twist at the end that I really did not see coming and I'll never look at taxidermy owls in the same way again.
