Ages 8-12     In this transporting and suspenseful book Marjan travels around the globe in search of a mythical bird in terrible danger, whose fate could determine the future of the world. In an adventure that takes her across continents and connects her with the wildest of mythic beasts around the globe, Marjan must track down the fabled Bird of a Thousand Stories before someone with more nefarious plans finds it. But the more closely she connects with the world's mythical creatures, the more danger she's in of losing her friendships--and all that tethers her to the life she's known.     352 pages  hc
