"Cutie Grackle is used to being different--she lives alone on a mountain with her feeble-minded uncle...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...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...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"-- Provided by publisher.
