Teen Services Librarian Jen Waters reviews Crow Medicine for the Canadian Review of Materials. Click here for the full review!

Here’s an excerpt:

At times, Crow Medicine veers into the land of Isabel Allende with dream sequences, spirit animals, tales surrounding the magical phoenix, and the addition of a wise old crone character who tells Jane about the “medicine” animals carry with them as well as the gift that certain people possess to access that medicine. This magical element may be an effort on Haynes’s behalf to widen her readership to include fans of animal fantasy. In this way, Crow Medicine could be a good companion to Clem Martini’s “Feather and Bone Crow Chronicles,” which are much less realistic and purely fantasy/folklore driven but similarly deal with a plague killing crows.
