Mo and the Crow

When a crow brings twelve-year-old Mo Tan a mysterious locket, she embarks on an unforgettable adventure through New York City to find its original owner. This is the first book in an new series about mysteries, friendship, and the fabulous world of birding.

Mo just moved across country with her mom, and she’s not happy about it. New York City is loud, it’s cramped, and worst of all: it’s the beginning of summer and she has no friends. When a crow lands on her fire escape one day and brings her a mysterious locket with a picture inside, Mo decides to try and find the owner.

From the Upper East Side, to Brooklyn, to exploring her heritage in Chinatown, Mo’s adventures with the crow show her everything her new city has to offer. With themes like divorce, moving, and making new friends, Mo & the Crow combines heartfelt moments with non-stop adventure that’s perfect for fans of Turning Red and Maizy Chen’s Last Chance.
