The Paper Feather

By Danielle Bernard

A mysterious feather. A forgotten world. A girl who remembers what others can't.

Twelve-year-old Maya has always felt a little... misplaced. Shuffled between foster homes, she clings to stories for comfort, until the day she finds a strange paper feather hidden in a forgotten bookstore.

That feather leads her to the Wind Between, a magical world where children vanish, memories fade, and forgotten stories go to rest. But Maya remembers. And that makes her dangerous.

With the help of Leo, a boy who knows her even when she forgets herself, and a sharp-eyed girl named Eve, Maya must uncover the truth about the Hollowing, rescue the lost children, and discover why she alone can still remember the world as it was.

Heartfelt, lyrical, and filled with wonder, The Paper Feather is a middle-grade fantasy about memory, belonging, and the magic of being seen. Perfect for fans of The Girl Who Drank the Moon, Pages & Co., and Bridge to Terabithia.
