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.
My Review:
The Impossible Destiny of Cutie Grackle is a fun and entertaining book to read for younger readers. Even though I am older than the age it is intended for, I thought it was a great read. I loved taking this magical journey with Cutie Grackle. She learns some wonderful life lessons that so many readers – young and old - could learn from or be reminded of. I personally found it to be inspiring to read.
The Impossible Destiny of Cutie Grackle will be getting a well deserved five plus stars from me. I believe readers who enjoy reading fantasy and magical stories and are between the ages of seven and thirteen will not want to miss this one.
I received a digital copy of The Impossible Destiny of Cutie Grackle from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
