'Grandpa stopped speaking the day he killed my brother, John. Grandpa kept talking like that, and no one paid him much notice until Bird jumped off a cliff, the cliff at the edge of the tallgrass prairie, the cliff that dropped a good couple hundred feet to a dried-up riverbed below.

Rezensionen
The extraordinary debut novel by Crystal Chan juggles a possible suicide, a mute and terrifying grandfather, astronomy, geology, betrayal and love with elegance and guts . . . The best thing about Bird isn't just its cultural uniqueness - not many kids' novels are about duppies, or Jamaican evil spirits - but how this excellent book feels like it actually happened. Guardian
"Jewel's observant reflections on her rural-Iowa world give this debut its considerable charm...the strong opening bodes well for future endeavors." Kirkus Reviews, November 2013
