This book was a pick up from the library and I was pleasantly surprised by the different take the author took on this new trend of exploring fairytales. Stork is centered around Icelandic myths and folklore and is told from the current eyes of a teenager named Kat who seems like a fashion forward stereotype who discovers she is part of a mystical order of women who assign souls, aka babies, to mothers. Then there is also this relationship she has with the boy in town Jack that also has some crazy twist too it. I found the book fun to read and I enjoyed the things that made the book not a normal book, such as what binds them as a couple from their past and also Jack's own special powers. Family secrets. Lost memories. And the arrival of an ancient magical ability that will reveal everything.Sixteen-year-old Katla LeBlanc has just moved from Los Angeles to Minnesota. As if it weren’t enough that her trendy fashion sense draws stares, Katla soon finds out that she’s a Stork, a member of a mysterious order of women tasked with a very unique duty. But Katla’s biggest challenge may be finding her flock at a new school. Between being ignored by Wade, the arrogant jock she stupidly fooled around with, and constantly arguing with gorgeous farm boy and editor-in-chief Jack, Katla is relieved when her assignment as the school paper’s fashion columnist brings with it some much-needed friendship. But as Homecoming approaches, Katla uncovers a shocking secret about her past — a secret that binds her fate to Jack’s in a way neither could have ever anticipated. With a nod to Hans Christian Andersen and inspired by Norse lore, Wendy Delsol’s debut novel introduces a hip and witty heroine who finds herself tail-feathers deep in small-town life.
