Twig idolises his Da who makes everything magical, telling him stories born from a vivid imagination. But Twig thinks he knows best, and although forbidden, when he follows Da on his nightly outings, he sets in motion a train of events even Da could not have imagined.
Twig finds himself in the Afterlife, destined to go on an adventure to open the Crossings to release memories The Gods had wanted for themselves. Armed with an atlas and accompanied by Krruk – a skeleton raven, Twig has to find and enter six Crossings to fulfil his quest.
This is a book of fantasy and modern-day reality for many people. Homelessness and the attitudes of others affect a huge number of people across our world and that of the Afterlife. It’s loyalty and a sense of family that will win the day and Twig has to decide where that lies.
Twig and his blood brother Flea are great characters – although I also loved the librarians!

A wonderfully written book, great descriptions and world building.
A story of loss and heartbeak. A great book.

Utterly beautiful - magical, I loved this book and this writing, the story behind the story, and the wings.
