In the second installment of Feather and Bone: The Crow Chronicles, a mysterious plague hits the Kinaar family. Crows lie dead all around the Gathering Tree and the terrified survivors scatter. Sick and alone, Kyp knows only that he must find Kym, who has been captured by humans and taken far to the east. A crow without a flock flies on only one wing, and Kyp has no one to keep watch or provide warning when danger threatens. But gradually other crows join him in his relentless journey -- deep into the heart of a vast and frightful human colony.

Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8–In this sequel to The Mob (Kids Can, 2004), a plague infects the crow population and humans invade their territory to capture the survivors. Absent when this occurs, Kyp returns to find his home destroyed and his best friend, Kym, kidnapped, and he vows to rescue her. Like its predecessor, the story is introduced as a tale from the point of view of Kata, an old crow. She is one of many birds that readers meet along the way. However, the fact that everyone's name starts with a K makes it hard to distinguish the players, and the lack of character development heightens the problem. The interesting folklore told through the storytellers almost makes up for the lack of action. However, the plague seems to be used simply as a device to get the story started as the plot revolves around Kyp's perilous journey to rescue Kym. Once she is found and conveniently saved, with the help of an unexplained fire, the story ends. Readers of the previous title may find this one of interest, but everyone else can pass on it.–Carly B.
