Praise for Wild Bird *A Junior Library Guild Selection* Something special.
Expertly crafted, beautifully written, and completely unique, Diane Zahler has created a historically rich, stunning story of survival and hope in the face of tragedy.
To stay alive, Rype, the only one left, must embark on a sweeping adventure across Europe with the son of an English ship captain and a band of troubadours in search of a brighter future and a new home.
In fourteenth-century Norway, the plague has destroyed the entire village of Skeviga.
But she knew this: To survive, she would have to go with them.
She did not speak their language, or understand their mannerisms.
She was hungry, small, cold, alone.
Rype was hiding in the hollow of a tree trunk when they found her.
She didn\'t remember anything at all.
She didn\'t remember her real name.
It was what the strangers called her.
That wasn\'t really her name.
Her name was Rype.
