* "Beautiful...lyrical...mystical. A superb celebration of life." -- SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, starred review
In a heartbeat, in a wingbeat, it happens. Isla and her father are racing across the fields, following the migrating swans, when everything goes wrong. The birds collide with power lines, and her dad suffers a heart attack.
At the hospital, upset and scared, Isla meets Harry, with his wild red hair and firefly eyes. He doesn't laugh when she tells him about her love of birds. He listens. But Harry is ill, too: He has leukemia.
As Isla tries to deal with her father's frailty and the new feelings she has for Harry, she's determined to help the only way she knows how. Outside the hospital windows, Isla watches a lone swan struggling to fly. If she could just save the lost bird, would that magically make everything good again?
By the author of the Printz Honor Book STOLEN, a novel SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL calls "a superb celebration of life."

From Flyaway
I can see a lake, surrounded by trees. My eyes scan the surface of the water, searching...
"Think there are any birds down there?" Harry says.
I cringe, wait for the teasing. But Harry keeps quiet, genuinely interested.
"Maybe," I say quietly. "It's a bit early for them yet."
I turn back to study the lake, and I see something. Just one. I can't work out whether it's a whooper or a mute. Its feathers look grayish and young. My breath catches in my throat as I think about that lone gray whooper flying away from the power cables that day...all on her own. Maybe it's her.
"What is it?" Harry asks.
"Just a swan."

Sweet
By Brandi Leigh Kosiner
This is a sweet and heart-wrenching book. Isla, the narrator has a compelling voice, and is very likeable- she is selfless, and her relationship with her family is very strong. Harry, the sick boyfriend, though really shines.
Their blooming relationship is innocent, and it is fun to watch it unfold. The loner swan brings them together and parallels their adventure.
Spoiler below!!!
The only thing I don't like is that it did not give me closure on whether Harry makes it through his transplant. But then again, sometimes the open ended ending really is the best, because you are always rooting for the patient to pull through and for the romance to continue, but as Lurlene McDaniel has proved, there is just something about death that can also make a perfect ending, because it is sad, beautiful, and reflects reality. But, I don't know about real statistics, but the book said 50/50 chance, so in the end it is left to the reader to decide, or you can take her dream of Harry being a swan and migrating as he didn't pull through, or you can find hope in his text and say that he did.

Wonderful

Exciting - I couldn't put it down!
By A Customer
I really like this book. It was so exciting and I couldn't put it down. The only reason I don't give it five stars is because I think Isla is too young to have a boyfriend. Sure, she can like boys, but not have them as boyfriends. It just sort of made me uncomfortable. But other than that, this was a very good book. I completely recommend it!
