From bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater, a gripping tale of darkness, miracles, and family.
Here is a thing everyone wants: A miracle.Here is a thing everyone fears:What it takes to get one.Any visitor to Bicho Raro, Colorado, is likely to find a landscape of dark saints, forbidden love, scientific dreams, miracle-mad owls, estranged affections, one or two orphans, and a sky full of watchful desert stars. At the heart of this place you will find the Soria family, who all have the ability to perform unusual miracles. And at the heart of this family are three cousins longing to change its future: Beatriz, the girl without feelings, who wants only to be free to examine her thoughts; Daniel, the Saint of Bicho Raro, who performs miracles for everyone but himself; and Joaquin, who spends his nights running a renegade radio station under the name Diablo Diablo. They are all looking for a miracle. But the miracles of Bicho Raro are never quite what you expect.Download and start listening now!
“A Stiefvater stand-alone, full of magical realism and scenery so vivid, it’s a living, breathing part of the tale? YES, PLEASE! This tangle of fables and miracles has a dreamy quality to it, as Stiefvater weaves a large cast of characters together, all clearly and concisely developed with their own worries and dreams. (Her very Stiefvater way of introducing characters will delight fans new and old.) She tackles so much in a scant 288 pages, from the personal cost of being a saint to the struggle of solving your own morass when the answer is so obvious to others. The depth of this tale is amazing, and you’ll savor each page as you think about your own life—what would the physical manifestation of your biggest problem be?”
