""A timely quest infused with magic."" The Times, Children’s Book of the Week
The hugely-anticipated, brand-new fairytale adventure from Sophie Anderson, the bestselling author of The House with Chicken Legs.
The Island of Morovia is shaped like a broken heart. The humans live on one side of the island, and the alkonosts – the bird-people – live on the other. But it wasn’t always this way…
Linnet wishes she could sing magic. But magic is forbidden and she has been banished with her father to the Mournful Swamp. She misses her old life, and dreams of reuniting with her friends.
When her father is captured for taking a precious jewel, Linnet must set out on a treacherous journey. Travelling through alligator pools and sinking sands with new friends, she learns how to be brave, and discovers something even more powerful than singing magic. Something that could save her father, and heal the broken heart of her island once more…With themes of grief, trust, love, and that we have more in common than that which divides us, this is a heartfelt book filled with adventure and stunning storytelling from bestselling Sophie Anderson.

The book was about magic and the life of a young girl after her father was thrown in the keep.
Princess Babs Possum 16.09.2023
This book was really well written because it had sections from the past wound in with the story to show what the main character's life was like.

My favourite character was Linnet. This book is one of my favourites. It’s also very adventurous because Linnet goes to lots of different places.

I really like this book because of the excitement and all the mini stories. My favourite person is Linnet, and her pets/animals, lumpy and whiskers . I would recommend this book to people who like adventures , little stories and music/songs.

This book was amazing! I just don't know where to start. Passion, description, emotion, I felt like I WAS Linnet! The only reason this book hasn't reached 5 stars is because of how sad it was! I couldn't help having a strong personal hate for Hero. The book made me cry!

The theif who sang storms is a fiction book about a girl named Linnet who goes on a mission to reunite the humans with the bird people. My favourite character is Linnet who goes on a mission to bring unity back to the floating island of Morovia. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a heartfelt story with a hint of magic, betrayal and friendship.

I liked when all her books seemed to overlap
Doctor Pixie Moonlight 12.08.2022
This was an amazing book about friendship and teamwork and the importance of being kind. Be careful though, a character Linnet trusts so much might not be trustworthy. I would recommend this book to 9-12 year olds.
