Crane is the fourth book in the Five Ancestors series and a direct continuation of the books before it. (I hate giving summaries for individual books in a series since they’ll inevitably contain spoilers for previous volumes.) Suffice to say, I like the kung fu adventure! In Finding Orion, when Grandpa Qwirk dies, he does it like he lived: in his own way. Rion and his family go back to his dad’s home town for a funeral, but find themselves on the strangest scavenger hunt that ever was. The Witch Boy is a graphic novel. Aster is at the age when he should be learning to shift into an animal form so he can join the other men as a warrior/protector. But he’s much more interested in the lessons that are only handed down from mother to daughter. Aster wants to be a witch.
