Book Review: The Good Hawk

By John Rodgers

 

The Summer Reading Program is going strong at Sequoyah Regional Library System (SRLS). To log reading and earn rewards, download the free Beanstack app or visit SequoyahRegionalLibrary.org/SRP to create an account.

Speaking of free, SRLS is going fine-free to celebrate summer reading, which means items returned to the library this month won’t have any overdue fines. So, swing by the local library in July to enjoy tons of no-cost programming, featuring a visit from Zoo Atlanta and chances to meet exotic animals up close.

Be sure not to miss the Teen Summer Book Club, which meets twice this month and focuses on the first book in Joseph Elliot’s Shadow Skye series, The Good Hawk.

A historical fiction mixed with fantasy elements, The Good Hawk stars two unlikely heroes: Agatha, an outcast with a unique origin who nonetheless takes great pride in her role within her clan, and Jaime, an angler who is unsure of the fate his clan has assigned him. Cue adventure.

When the clan is kidnapped, Agatha and Jaime must team up to save them and, thanks to the rich world crafted by Elliott, readers will eagerly be along for the ride. The novel switches between Agatha’s and Jaime’s points of view throughout,
giving insight into their individual struggles and perspectives. While some may be put off by its status as a young adult novel, adult readers (especially those who enjoy the genre) are encouraged to embark on this adventure as well.

Teens in grades 6-12 who enjoy The Good Hawk are invited to join the library’s virtual book club meetings on July 6 and July 20 at 3:00pm to share their thoughts with other teens and Mrs. Mary, the teen services specialist at SRLS. This book club includes discussion and takes place over a live video chat on Zoom. To register for this and other free library programs, visit the event calendar at CalendarWiz.com/sequoyahreglib.
