A Brood of Foxes
A young woman comes of age in a place where time has its own logic, human and animal is a shifting perspective, and the people we love are always slightly other - and better - than we imagined.
Ages 15 and up. Across North America, birds hurl themselves against airplanes, causing crashes and thousands of deaths. The US government grounds all flights, stranding travelers, including Reese. As she drives through the night, a bird flies into her headlights, and the car flips over. She wakes up in a military hospital, but the doctor won't tell her where she is, or how she's been miraculously healed. Back home, San Francisco feels like a different place, with a curfew, hazmat teams collecting dead birds, and a strange presence that seems to be following her. When Reese unexpectedly collides with the beautiful Amber Gray, her search for the truth is forced in a new direction, and threatens to expose a conspiracy that the government has worked for decades to keep secret.

After just a few nights working the night shift at Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore, Clay begins to realize that this store is even more curious than the name suggests. There are only a few customers, but they come in repeatedly and never seem to actually buy anything, instead 'checking out' impossibly obscure volumes from strange corners of the store, all according to some elaborate, long-standing arrangement with Mr. Penumbra. Concluding that store must be a front for something larger, Clay embarks on a complex analysis of the customers' behavior, and ropes his friends into helping to figure out just what's going on. But once they bring their findings to Mr. Penumbra, it turns out the secrets extend far outside the walls of the bookstore.
