Queen of the crows is a book that is based on the short film “Queen of the Crows” by Harmony Wagner. I have yet to find out where I can watch this film, because reading the book has made me interested to see how it all plays out.

Author: Harmony Wagner

Publisher: Acorn Press

Pages: 155

Stars: ✨✨✨

I only give this book 3 stars because it was not really my kind of book. Okay, so now you’re probably like, “Well, why did you get the book if you knew you wouldn’t like it?” Uhm… that’s a great question. I kind of expected it to be… what’s the word… darker? Dramatic? Adventurous? What I expected was some thing like this:

The Crows, a shadowy thief organization run by ONE woman. She called herself… The Queen of the Crows! Dun dun DUUUUUUN! And one day, a young girl named Elsa finds out about this group because she found their symbol spray painted in an alley way… etc.

But… that is not what I got. Maybe this is just what I get for being a writer trying to write an awesome Sci-fi fantasy novel 🤷‍♀️ I have a vivid imagination, and high expectations! Hahaha! But anyway, this tells the story of Elsa, a young girl who constantly has to fend for herself because her mom is constantly leaving her to go to parties, and… do other stuff. Elsa’s story picks up from a time where her mom has been gone for five days, and Elsa is low on food, money, clean clothes, and everything else. She has an aunt named Claire that she could always go to for help, but she wants to fool the world into thinking that everything is normal. One day while she is walking to school, a crow talks to her, and suddenly she finds herself immersed in the magical world of the crows. And yes, she finds out she can understand them. Elsa finds out that their queen has gone missing, and that they are lost without her. Elsa finds out that she has a role to play in this mystery, and she finds herself becoming-well, I mean this WOULD be a spoiler, but I mean it’s the book title, I hardly think this would be spoiling anything so, anyway, Elsa herself becomes the queen.

I took a test made by one of my fellow Youth Ambassadors on the Digitally Lit website, and actually I got Elsa from Queen of the Crows!

I think this is a pretty accurate result, I can be resourceful when I want to be, and yes, of course I’m creative 😄 if you want to take the test for yourself, you can click here! Be sure to read the book about the character you got so you can see how much you relate to them 😄

Even though I loved Elsa’s character, in all honesty, this book is probably good for like… 10 year olds? I’m sure the short film is good, and I would like to watch it-if only I could find it…. Bye for now!
