Unfortunately, he is also the richest.Can a sharptongued, highspirited, clever young maiden with a mind of her own actually lose the battle against an illmannered, piglike lord and an unimaginative, greedy toad of a father? Deus! Not if Catherine has anything to say about it!Catherine, a spirited and inquisitive young woman, narrates in diary form the story of her fourteenth yearthe year 1290.In an appreciation in the New York Times, illustrator Vera Brosgol spoke for many fans of this beloved book: 'I fell hard for Karen Cushman's Catherine, Called Birdy the second I opened it. More than any other heroine I'd read, this one sounded like me. For Catherine, and for me, there is no easy solution to the cages life makes for you. Sometimes the power is in deciding to be yourself in whatever cage you're in.'
