The Birds meets The Princess Bride in this tale of the power of community, of human connection, and of hope. “Murder owls are extreme,” Jude said. “What’s more extreme than murder owls?” Madigan Purdy is trapped in her hometown library. When tens of thousands of owls descend on the building, rending and tearing at anyone who dares to step outside, Mad is tasked with keeping her students safe, and distracted, while they seek a solution to their dilemma. Perhaps they’ll find inspiration in her favorite childhood book, The Silent Queen…. With food and water in low supply, the denizens of the library will have to find a way out, and soon, but the owls don’t seem to be in a hurry to leave. The Parliament is a story of courage in the face of trauma and our own powerlessness. And of extremely sharp beaks. |
