I swear I’m not just trying to make a ghost joke! That was mostly just a happy coincidence. This story is so fluid and sometimes feels so real it’s borderline haunting. Ohhh, they hit the nail on the head when they called this book enchanting, didn’t they? Though, if I’m being honest, I didn’t know what to expect when I picked up Other Birds. I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather be an other bird rather than just the same old thing.” “There are birds, and then there are other birds. Now, with her future waiting patiently, Zoey will follow in her footsteps, moving into her mother’s old home and making it a place just for her. Mallow Island is also home to many interesting and unique people.įor example, Zoey’s mother once lived on Mallow Island. As the name may suggest, this island is famous for the confectionery sweets that originated here – marshmallows. Mallow Island is just off the coast of South Carolina.
