The adventure of a young girl will captivate ones attention in this beautiful  book. The words soar off the page and into your heart as you read this  imaginative story.

Enjoy seeing the family dynamic from the  first moment with her brother, to the gentle times with her mom, and the exciting scenes with her father.

A young girl, Matica, is  jealous of her brother, Aiken's ability to have friends. But Matica's  ability to form friendships is extraordinary. The trust and camaraderie  between Matica and the condors is truly wonderful.

The way the  author revealed each situation was fun to read and it made me anxious to see what's next. Acceptance was eloquently woven into the story without being blatant. And the other thing I learned was that when certain  things happen, you don't always know why and just maybe something goodwill come of it.

Talon, Come Fly With Me is not onlymagical but inspiring. The author is expressive every step of the wayand painted such vivid pictures with her words.
