The Kiesha'ra: Volume One

An ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers

Danica is an avian shapeshifter, and her golden hawk's form in the sky is as natural to her as her human one on land. The only thing more familiar to her is war: It has raged between her people and the serpiente for so long, no one can remember how it began. All they know is hatred, fear and bloodshed. And Danica is tired of it.

Available only in The Literacy Bridge 5.

The frist time I read this book was 5 years ago and I loved it, it drew me in in an instant. It touched my heart and soul. The characters come to life and are with you always. I laughed, I cried, I couldnt wait to turn the next page. The charachters are so real you actually feel as though you right there in the story sharing in there triumpts and struggles. I read this book at least once a year because it is one of my favorites and the complete series is in my collection and has a perminet place. READ THIS BOOK YOU WONT REGRETE IT!

I first read this book when I was twelve. Granted, I did not understand many parts and it was a difficult read, but I fell in love with the characters, plot, and story. This is a wonderful read no matter what your age - even now, midway through college, I find myself picking up my Kindle and rereading Hawksong when I need to lose myself in a book.

Amelia Atwater-Rhodes is a wonderful storyteller. The reader finds themselves immersed in Avian and Serpentine society, unable to put down the book until the very last page. Subtle hints to adult issues can be found throughout, thus making the novel not be boring to adults and yet still appropriate for a younger audience.

I have read this book at least fifty times, and know that I will read it at least fifty more.
