After a chance encounter with the mysterious Ala late one night at New York Public Library, then 7-year-old runaway Echo was raised in a mysterious world under New York City with an ancient race of beings called the Avicen, who have avian traits (such as feathers instead of hair) and possess magical powers. Seventeen-year-old Echo is a resourceful, quick-thinking and feisty thief who travels between our world and a magical world unseen by other humans. "The Girl at Midnight," the impressive debut novel of Melissa Grey, is the story of a quest to find the firebird, a creature dismissed as mythical by some but desperately sought by others who seek its power, whether for the promise of power itself or as an avenue to peace.
