I think this book is good to read when you feel lonely sometimes. And this book is very easy to read and understand. But as this book is too easy, this book was not that cool and interesting for me. Also the story and conflict or something like that is all on the text. So, I just read really fast and did not really think a lot with this book. After I read this book, I wanted to have a trip or journey alone. I think it will be great when I have trip alone I guess. It make me to be out of task in the school sometimes.

A timeless novel about the kindness of strangers
Near a little cove where a brook runs out to the sea live a girl and her grandmother. All alone with no neighbors at all, the two lead a peaceful existence. They have a house, dine on sea kale and mussels and sand snails, and build fires from driftwood. But the grandmother is very old. When the time comes that the girl must bury the woman, she makes up a funeral song about the birds she is watching: Two crows never fly alone, and death is never, ever past. The next day the same crows seem to beckon her, and so the Crow-Girl begins her journey, one in which she will meet people both warm and cold, hurt and hurtful. And the Crow-Girl, before she knows it, has the makings before her of a new family . . .
This lyrical story, with its characters' moments of darkness always overcome through incredible humanity, introduces a strong new voice for American readers.
