While searching for him, Kian falls from a cliff to certain death but is saved when the spirits of his ancestors transform into in a bird. But not just any bird - a bird with the mind of a boy. Who will win when the boy's feelings and the bird's instincts clash? And will Kian the bird/boy ever see his father or his best friend Raven again?"--Publisher's web site

Sign in for personalised guidanceThis appears to be an imaginative quest about a boy trying to find his lost horse, with a perilous transformation that brings questions of human feeling, animal instinct and belonging.
Kian searches for Raven after the horse disappears and wonders whether he will see his father or his best friend Raven again.
After the transformation, a bird has the mind of a boy, and the boy’s feelings may clash with the bird’s instincts.
Consider discussing how the story handles danger, transformation and Native American identity, especially if a reader may find falls, separation or uncertain bodily change emotionally intense.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
