Do you believe in impossible things? Cutie Grackle does. She has to. Otherwise, she' ll never be more than a lonely 10 year old in a cursed family. Cutie Grackle is used to being different-she lives alone on a mountain with her feeble-minded uncle, and when she' s not sucking pebbles to trick her stomach into feeling full, she' s chatting with a weathered garden gnome for company. But having a flock of ravens follow you is more than just different. Cutie worries the birds are connected to the curse Uncle Horace tends to mutter about. And she' s right. The ravens present her with a fortune from a cookie, and when she touches it she' s pulled into a vision from her family' s past. It involves the curse and her long-lost mother. The birds offer up a series of objects, each imbued with memories that eventually reveal Cutie must do what her mother could not- break the curse. Part outdoor survival adventure, part fantastical quest, Shawn K. Stout' s The Impossible Destiny of Cutie Grackle is a journey of hope, heart, and a willingness to believe in the impossible.
