First line: The birds were following me.
Why you should read this book: Cutie Grackle is having a hard time of life, what with her parents gone physically and her uncle gone mentally and the one adult who cares for her going out of town for two weeks and the constant food insecurity, but she is well aware, having been told many times, that this is because her family is cursed. That's when the ravens start following her, even though everyone says that birds don't follow people, and these birds definitely have a message for her, possibly about why she's cursed and what she can do about it. With her uncle under the power of his absolutely terrible friend Charlie, Cutie joins forces with Galen, who's spending the summer camping with his archaeologist father as punishment for a school prank, and together they have just a very few hours to decode the raven's cryptic communications and end the curse.
Why you shouldn't read this book: You have no clue how to break your curse.
