Synopsis:

The curious flight patterns of crows lead a teen computer programmer down a path of mystery and romance. 

Gin trusts logic a little too much. She even designs programs to decide what to eat and how to spend her time. All that changes when she’s paired with a new transfer student, Felix, on a computer modeling assignment to explain certain anomalies in the behavior of crows.

As she enters Felix’s world and digs further into the data behind crow behavior, Gin uncovers a terrible secret. And the wrong decision could equal disaster squared . . .

       

  

*Excerpt*

She walked down the hall, texting her mom, and looked up just in time to veer back and avoid running right into someone. She saw his t-shirt first—a sun-bleached red—and his wooden bead necklace, the type that everyone had worn back in middle school.

He must’ve been new—Gin didn’t recognize him, and he definitely wasn’t a freshman. She stared at him for half a second, long enough to notice that his eyes were a bright hazel and his shaggy hair a gold-brown. And long enough to feel her heart rate rise, sudden and fast.

“Sorry about that,” she said. Before he could reply, she walked away.

She breathed in, trying to knead down the warmth in her stomach. He had smiled at her, easy and relaxed, and it had seemed like he was going to say something. But her reaction to seeing him—merely seeing him, not even knowing a single thing about him—had thrown her.

The last thing she needed was a repeat of last year. When she’d spent hours—days, really—thinking about Liam Cook, one year ahead of her and, in spite of the one class they shared, barely aware of her. And it hadn’t been for Gin’s lack of trying: she used to waste half of morning break stalling at her locker so she could pass him in the hall on the way to third period. At the end of the school year, mere months before he had to leave for college, she had worked up the courage to give him a fake questionnaire for a fake report she was “writing” about student interests, just to have a reason to talk with him. In one of his answers, he used the word “apocryphal.”

None of it had mattered. He had never even learned Gin’s name. It shouldn’t have been shocking: guys never noticed Gin. But since Gin agreed completely with Albert Einstein—or whoever had technically said it—that insanity was doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results, she had decided that this year, she would stay focused on what mattered.

A locker clanged, and Gin tightened her grip on her shoulder bag. As she rounded the corner, she glanced back. The boy, unsurprisingly, hadn’t given her a second glance.

Praise for CROW FLIGHT

"You'll adore Gin, who's determined to apply her brilliant computer skills to the mysteries of love... and in doing so, finds herself caught up in high-stakes intrigue. We cheer her on as she learns to trust her gut and heart along with her tech-savvy mind. CROW FLIGHT is a soaring debut from an author to watch." ―Laura Resau, author of RED GLASS

"A timely, fun story that flies across the pages and into your heart. A romantic tale with intriguing content, Cunningham delivers a compelling read about the predictability of life and love. ―Donna Cooner, author of SKINNY and SCREENSHOT

"Crow Flight is a delicious novel. Gin has decided what her life should look like - and it involves logic, equations, computer models, coding, ambition, and over-achieving. An unexpected twist forces her to reconsider, and rather suddenly she finds herself in new territory - a path that calls forth the heart, the willingness to adventure, and most importantly, an effort at finding and honoring the immaterial truth. When an English teacher asks her to consider Victor Hugo's contention that 'One must have bread, but before bread, one must have the ideal,' she boldly launches forth into a world of discovery, romance, and danger. This book, like Gin's adventure, is a beauty." ―Laura Pritchett, winner of the PEN USA Award in Fiction
