![]() ![]() ![]() It is an endearing, sensory, magical escape which I loved for a few hours. I haven’t read anything by Hoffman before but it seems she is a prolific and notable writer and this is evident in Nightbird. The pair of girls decide they are going to help their families and the town and try to figure out how to reverse a 200-year-old curse. Twig and the girl of the same age instantly click and become close friends, but it’s hard for Twig as she has become so isolated, she finds friendship a difficult path to navigate. Things start to unravel as you’d expect when new neighbours move in next door. Twig is a lovely and intelligent girl who feels confined by her overprotective mother who is hiding a secret, but a secret that Twig knows about and is also keeping. Hoffman manages to pull you in to the small town and the families she is telling you about with the smells of baking pies, so sweet and delicious your mouth waters. I picked up Nightbird from NetGalley as I liked the sound of it and I fancied something light and magical after the raft of crime books I’ve read recently. ![]()
