For twenty years, the Palomas and the Corbeaus have been competitors and foes, locked within an escalating feud for over a generation. Both families make their living as going performers in fighting shows - the Palomas swimming in mermaid exhibitions, the Corbeaus, past tightrope walkers, performing in the tallest trees and shrubs they will get. Ribbons Paloma may be not used to her family's show, but she understands as well as anyone that the Corbeaus are 100 % pure magia negra - black magic from the devil himself. Simply touching one could mean loss of life, and she's been educated from labor and birth to keep away. But when catastrophe strikes the tiny town where both families are performing, it's a Corbeau young man, Cluck, who saves Lace's life. And his touch immerses her in the wonderful world of the Corbeaus, where falling for him could change his own family against him, and one misstep can be just as dangerous on the ground as it is in the trees and shrubs. Superbly written and richly imaginative, Anna-Marie McLemore's The Weight of Feathers can be an utterly fascinating young adult book by a talented new voice.
