A note for parents
All the Crooked Saints is a magical-realist coming-of-age story centered on family, identity, and the cost of miracles, written by the acclaimed author of The Raven Cycle. The narrative involves emotional complexity, some mild violence, and themes of loss and family trauma that suit older teens. Stiefvater's lyrical prose and character-driven plot reward thoughtful readers, though the dreamlike tone and magical elements may feel abstract to younger audiences.

At the heart of this place you will find the Soria family, who all have the ability to perform unusual miracles. And at the heart of this family are three cousins longing to change its future: Beatriz, the girl without feelings, who wants only to be free to examine her thoughts; Daniel, the Saint of Bicho Raro, who performs miracles for everyone but himself; and Joaquin, who spends his nights running a renegade radio station under the name Diablo Diablo. They are all looking for a miracle. But the miracles of Bicho Raro are never quite what you expect.
