A 2015 William C. Morris YA Debut Award FinalistMagical realism, lyrical prose, and the pain and passion of human love haunt this hypnotic generational saga. Foolish love appears to be the Roux family birthright, an ominous forecast for its most recent progeny, Ava Lavender. Ava -- in all other ways a normal girl -- is born with the wings of a bird. In a quest to understand her peculiar disposition and a growing desire to fit in with her peers, sixteen-year old Ava ventures into the wider world, ill-prepared for what she might discover and naive to the twisted motives of others. Others like the pious Nathaniel Sorrows, who mistakes Ava for an angel and whose obsession with her grows until the night of the summer solstice celebration. That night, the skies open up, rain and feathers fill the air, and Ava's quest and her family's saga build to a devastating crescendo. First-time author Leslye Walton has constructed a layered and unforgettable mythology of what it means to be born with hearts that are tragically, exquisitely human.

Belgian Malinois
Color: Skull Print, Size: 6 inches, Color: Skull Print, Size: 6 inches
Any toy that last over 2 days with a Belgian deserves 5 stars.
I purchased this for my pup's 2nd birthday. She loves it. Within in 24hrs all the tabs were chewed off but the ball itself is still holding up. She plays volleyball with it, catch, Chase, and chews on it. It is going on a month and it is still around. Thank you. It is difficult to find a toy that lasts with a Belgian and they are hyper dogs that need toys.

A MUST for busy dogs!!
Color: Green, Size: Medium
The tags are a hit! My border collie entertains herself with this ball. The longer black tag is PERFECT for her to grasp it and fling it in the air.

He loves his new ball
Color: Paw Print, Size: 8 inches
My German Shepherd loves it. The only issue we had is that he managed to tear the black handle off within 5 minutes, so we just ended up cutting it completely off. Other than that he loves it.
