Title : Neversink
Author : Barry Wolverton
Synopsis
Barry
Wolverton’s masterful middle-grade debut, Neversink, is an epic tale of
some very un-epic birds, a fast-paced and funny story of survival, friendship,
and fish, in the vein of Watership Down and Kathi Appelt’s The Underneath.
Along
the Arctic Circle lies a small island called Neversink, home to a colony of
odd-looking seabirds called auks, including one Lockley J. Puffin. With their
oceanfront views and plentiful supply of fish, the auks have few concerns—few,
save for Lockley’s two best friends, Egbert and Ruby, a know-it-all walrus and
a sharp-tongued hummingbird.
But
all of this is about to change. Rozbell, the newly crowned king of the Owl
Parliament, has long had his scheming eyes on the small colony to the north.
Now Neversink’s independence hangs in the balance. An insurgence of owls will
inevitably destroy life as the auks know it—unless Lockley can do something
about it.
