A birthday month with high stakes

Astrid’s long-awaited wings bring a new problem: she cannot fly, and the new headmistress gives her a deadline to learn or leave London Overhead. The Month of Birthdays offers a competing route, with a series of games and a prize Astrid hopes will help her fix her wings and keep her home. Circus shows, roller coasters, and cake frame the celebrations, while the games themselves carry real danger—and someone is working against her. The fantasy premise links belonging and home to Astrid’s struggle with flying, setting up a birthday-season adventure in which the contest matters far beyond winning.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A fit for readers aged 9–12 who enjoy contemporary fantasy.
  • For readers interested in magical schools, flying, and competitive games.
  • May suit readers who like adventures where a protagonist’s home is at stake.

Book overview

Astrid has her wings at last. But unlike all her Starminster classmates, she can't get them to work, no matter how hard she tries. Soon, the formidable new headmistress issues a warning: Astrid must learn to fly or leave London Overhead forever. Then the Month of Birthdays arrives, bringing circus shows, roller coasters, mountains of cake--and a legendary series of games, with a prize beyond Astrid's wildest dreams. Astrid knows she has to win; it's the only way she can fix her wings and secure her home in London Overhead. But the games are far more dangerous than she could ever have imagined--and someone is out to ensure Astrid never makes it to the end.
