In Ireland, where her great-grandmother owns a castle, Claire learns that she is the descendant of a magical race that once ruled ancient Éire. And like her ancestor Gealala, a 13th-century ruler known as the Shining Swan, Claire possesses an ability to summon birds. In fact, four raptors come unbidden to assist her in fulfilling a hereditary destiny to protect endangered waders. Irish curlews, nearly extinct, have chosen to nest on the shores of Lough Gur, the Enchanted Lake. To save their threatened habitat, Claire relies on a host of friends, including a neighbor's eight-year-old foster child and expert fairy hunter. Together they decipher long-hidden clues to revive the mystical power of a mythical past.

A "bird boy" wants to join Benita's Bird Club. She is happy until learning that he is a Great-horned Owl--an enemy of crows everywhere! As a crow, she could never accept him. But the club members like this "owl boy." And the Bird Girl will soon discover why she must like him, too.

Third grader Ben meets a "bird girl." She's a crow most of the time and at others a girl. She invites Ben to join the Bird Club to assist in a mission to cross The Impossible Divide, a place that separates people from animals. Ben and the Bird Girl, a modern fairy tale, is the first illustrated chapter book in a serial series to contain seven books. In Book One, Ben joins the Bird Club just as its oldest member, a fifth grader, prepares to quit it. Ursula doesn't want to leave the club, but she'll soon turn ten. And the Bird Girl (who calls herself Benita) becomes invisible to anyone over ten. Ursula, Benita, and the club members prepare for this sad occasion with a special club meeting. An unseen stranger also attends, one who is about to change everything they know.
