The Thing With Feathers by Anne Sweazy-Kulju

He’d been snoozing nice and easy when something jumped onto his blankets and landed near his right thigh. Whaaa? Whoa! Well-if this don’t dunk my hat in the water.' The tired old miner figured he’d managed to holler loud enough to scare off whatever landed on the shakedown of horse blankets he was using for a bedroll. Something about the ghost town or murder needed to be added to boost one's curiosity.The book is not recommended for YA due to crude language and a slight amount of profanity.My review of this book offers a Four Stars rating.This was sent to me by the author for an honest review of which I have given. It definitely needs more eye-catching augmentation. The Book Cover is highly lacking in effectiveness. It encompasses some interesting theories.The characters are portrayed very realistically, and the background scenes are described vividly. The adventures are continuous and the reader never becomes disinterested. Would it be their last trip? Would the answers remain a mystery?The suspense holds the reader's interest to the very end.This was a well-written novel based on a true story. In order to receive answers, it was decided they would have to take a trip to Bodie, California. Events soon began unfolding in very mysterious ways. They knew of no other kinfolk nor where they came from. The younger sister, Lainy, was more trusting and somewhat lacking in wisdom.

The older sister, Lara, was very protective and intuitive.

The twins had a less than desirable childhood but survived resulting in a very strong bond between them. If you like history, Ghost Towns, and the unexplainable, this is the book for you.This is an intense mystery about twin sisters, re-occurring dreams, and both historical and contemporary fiction.
