Summary


A young girl must stop a threat to her magical world in this epic graphic novel from New York Times bestselling author Marjorie Liu and remarkable debut illustrator Teny Issakhanian. Plus don't miss the spectacular sequel, Wingborn, out in fall 2023!

Zuli is extraordinary--she just doesn't realize it yet. Raised by mystical bird spirits in the branches of the Great Tree, she's never ventured beyond this safe haven. She's never had to. Until now.

When a sinister force threatens the life-giving magic of the tree, Zuli, along with her guardian owl, Frowly, must get to the root of it. So begins an adventure bigger than anything Zuli could've ever imagined--one that will bring her, along with some newfound friends, face-to-face with an ancient dragon, the so-called Witch-Queen, and most surprisingly of all: her true identity.

This captivating middle grade graphic novel, the first of a series, is perfect for fans of the Amulet books and the Wings of Fire series.

Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "Celebrated Marvel comics' writer Liu teams up with artist Issakhanian for this fantasy series opener about Zuli, a girl on a quest to save the souls of birds--and everyone else's souls, too. Zuli, a Black girl with a soft crown of natural hair, grew up within the protected branches of the Great Tree, a haven for birds' souls before they are reborn. She knows nothing of what exists outside of its mystical realm, until the souls stop coming and the leaves start to die. Zuli and her guardian owl, Frowly, leave the Great Tree and set out on an adventure, seeking answers to the mystery of the missing souls, as well as Zuli's own identity. The cast of characters range from the real and mythical, with winged fantasy creatures, like dragons and goblins, soaring through each scene. Issakhanian's dynamic art, reminiscent of classic animation, is deeply expressive. Her use of lush, vibrant colors gives each scene an ethereal glow. For another fantasy-adventure graphic-novel series, check out Tui T. Sutherland's Wings of Fire (2018)."

Publisher's Weekly Review: "Young Zuli, Black and apparently human, doesn't know where she comes from or who, exactly, she is. Raised by bird spirits at the Great Tree, where birds' souls go to be reborn after death, Zuli (along with owl companion Frowly) ventures into the living world to discover why souls have stopped arriving and why the Tree itself has grown "a leaf without a soul." There, they find a fantastical, cinematically portrayed world of decrepit ruins, lush forests, and sweeping plains, populated by goblins, wraiths, and griffins--all under siege by the Witch-Queen, who plots from afar to capture Zuli after she embarks on her quest. Liu (Monstress, for adults) crafts a compelling, brave, and joyful protagonist in Zuli ("Is it going to hurt?" Zuli asks, before heading forward after Frowly says yes). Debut artist Issakhanian renders painterly illustrations with luminescent, vibrant colors that convey captivating magic and energy. Though lettering, with overly horizontal balloons and clunky tails, sometimes proves distracting, this epic fantasy adventure with a classic feel demands a follow-up. Ages 8--12.
