Except, of course, if it’s Halloween. And even Halloween is scary sometimes.” —ONE DAY AND ONE AMAZING MORNING ON ORANGE STREET by Joanne Rocklin

Unclipped

Though Tuck was the same blue-black coloring as the Royal ravens, he was smaller, and because he was wild, his wings were not clipped. He was free to fly where he wished, which was usually as close to Forrest as he could get. —THE RAVENMASTER’S SECRET: ESCAPE FROM THE TOWER OF LONDON by Elvira Woodruff
