Synopsis
“Enthralling and effortlessly relevant, BIRDBOY is a searing contemporary fantasy, and often unrelenting in its savage attacks on greed, acquisitiveness, the disposable society, and some not-so-subtle jabs at Spanish Catholicism. Yet, for all that brutality, and the continual sense that these children face overwhelming odds from a cruel world, there is a heartfelt sense of hope, that a better world may be reachable. There are no Disney happy ends here, but there is a less bleak future, if only we can look beyond our own blackened, monstrous hearts.” – Richard Whittaker, Austin Chronicle
