The Tragical Tale of Birdie Bloom

A hilarious and heartwarming stand-alone middle grade debut, The Tragical Tale of Birdie Bloom is a whimsically fractured fairy tale perfect for fans of Shannon Hale and Adam Gidwitz. In the fairy-tale kingdom of Wanderly, everyone has a role. Birdie Bloom is a Tragical--an orphan doomed to an unhappy ending. Agnes Prunella Crunch is a witch. The wicked kind. In Wanderly, a meeting between a witch and a Tragical can only end one way: tragically. But with the help of some mysterious Winds, a few wayward letters, and a very unusual book, the two might just form the kingdom´s unlikeliest friendship--and together, rewrite their story into one that isn´t very Tragical at all. "I absolutely ADORED Birdie´s story from beginning to end. The most charming book, footnotes and all!"--Liesl Shurtliff, New York Times bestselling author of Rump
