"A girl who is hawk by day.
A boy who is panther by night.
A secret that will change everything."
When I read the blurb on the back of this book, it instantly reminded me of my favourite movie, [Ladyhawke]. A middle grade version.
Set in 1914 Valencia, Ampora and Tomas have always thought they were alone, that only they had this strange ability to shift. When they meet, they, along with the wonderful street urchin Pepe, begin to discover the truth of their shared past.
The illustrations are evocative and eerie and I love that some of the chapters are just the artwork telling the story.
