Praise for Blue Birds : "Composed in varying formats, the descriptive and finely crafted poems reveal the similarities the two girls share, from loved ones lost to hatred between the English and the Roanoke to a desire for peace... Fans of Karen Hesse and the author's May B. (2012) will delight in this offering."-- Kirkus Reviews "A memorable account of a friendship that transcends culture and prejudice."-- Publishers Weekly "An excellent historical offering and belongs on public and school library shelves."-- VOYA "With two compelling main characters and an abundance of rich historical detail, Rose's latest novel offers much to discuss and much to appreciate."-- School Library Journal "An imaginative historical novel with two sympathetic protagonists."-- Booklist "Themes of fear and freedom will appeal to a wide audience."-- SLC "Using language that's both plain and exquisite, Caroline Starr Rose weaves history seamlessly into the stories of two girls with distinct backgrounds and voices. The crossing lives gave me a big world that lingered past the pages."-- Jeannine Atkins , author of Borrowed Names "Rose has given us a complex story, a real and researched story, a story that, despite its roots in late 16th century America, feels contemporary. In bringing readers Alis and Kimi, Rose has not just brought us a distant era. She's brought her readers a way of sinking in with real questions about difference--and a credible suggestion that such differences might be overcome."-- Beth Kephart , author of This Is the Story of You, Praise for Blue Birds : "Composed in varying formats, the descriptive and finely crafted poems reveal the similarities the two girls share, from loved ones lost to hatred between the English and the Roanoke to a desire for peace...

Synopsis
It's 1587 and twelve-year-old Alis has made the long journey with her parents from England to help settle the New World, the land christened Virginia in honor of the Queen. And Alis couldn't be happier. While the streets of London were crowded and dirty, this new land, with its trees and birds and sky, calls to Alis. Here she feels free. But the land, the island Roanoke, is also inhabited by the Roanoke tribe and tensions between them and the English are running high, soon turning deadly. Amid the strife, Alis meets and befriends Kimi, a Roanoke girl about her age. Though the two don't even speak the same language, these girls form a special bond as close as sisters, willing to risk everything for the other. Finally, Alis must make an impossible choice when her family resolves to leave the island and bloodshed behind. A beautiful, tender story of friendship and the meaning of family, Caroline Starr Rose delivers another historical gem.

    Beautiful story about an unlikely friendship

    It is a very well written and compelling story about a events in history that I had never heard of before; the settlers who came to America ahead of the Mayflower. The style is unique and each word is carefully chosen and meaningful.
