Cutie Grackle is used to being different—she lives alone on a mountain with her feeble-minded uncle, sucks on pebbles to trick her stomach into feeling full, and chats with a weathered garden gnome for company. But when Cutie learns from a magical group of ravens that her family has suffered from a deadly curse for generations, and that it involves her long-lost mother, she knows it’s her destiny to break it.
