Opposites Attract
"The Hawkweed Prophecy tells the story of what happens when two completely different worlds collide. When two outsiders named Poppy and Ember meet, they instantly click. But they don't know they were switched at birth because of an ancient prophecy...and their friendship will change everything." —Kristina

Really Relatable
"Poppy and Ember felt they didn't belong in their worlds, but in the end they realize they don't need to fit the typical mold of what's expected. And it's true for all of us: You can be whoever you want to be." —Chloe

First Impressions
"From the moment I opened The Hawkweed Prophecy, I knew that this wild, wicked and weird book was going to be one I couldn't put down. It reminded me that there's a place for everyone in the world." —Emily

Sweet Nostalgia
"This book made me feel like a kid again—it took me back to the days when I pretended that I had a pet fairy or could cast spells. And, just like when I was little, the villain completely creeped me out." —Hayley

Take Note
"Aspiring writers, pay close attention to the language the author uses. It's brilliant. Irena Brignull writes the most beautiful descriptions and metaphors that add lyricism and depth to the story. It's as impressive as it is enthralling." —Vanessa
