Sky Song is the second book I've read for the #BritishBooksChallenge18. You can read all about the Challenge and how to participate here. Sky Song is about Eska, a girl trapped inside the vicious Ice Queen's fortress. She is saved by Flint, a boy who dared to venture into the fortress to save his mother. In the land of Erkenwald, all of the adults are the Queen's prisoner and no amount of force or magic can set them free. Flint fancy's himself an inventor whereas his tribesmen want him to be more of a warrior. Flint's tribe is wary of Eska and assume she is one of the Queen's spy. Because of this, they exile her from the confines of the tribe and set her on her way, presumably to die in the frozen wild. The wild has other plans for Eska, though. She befriends a golden eagle who teaches her how to survive. When Eska and Flint's path rejoin, they decide to form their own tribe and take on the Ice Queen to save their families from destruction. The answer lies in a series of task they must complete, namely finding an ancient and lost horn that only exists in legend. With help from unexpected places, Eska and Flint discover what real friendship is and the power of forming your own tribe. Sky Song is a dreamy, powerful read with amazing characters. I am really excited to promote this in the School Library I manage and get it into the hands of the students, they are going to love it. I recommend it for ages 10 and up!
