Impossible Destiny of Cutie Grackle

<b>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.</b><br> <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/>Part outdoor survival adventure part fantastical quest Shawn K. Stout's <i>The Impossible Destiny of Cutie Grackle</i> is a journey of hope heart and a willingness to believe in the impossible.<br>
