Now I’m not sure if this is a YA book or not because I remember sneaking to read this book because it belonged to my aunt. It was about a girl in high school who lived in the woods or the swamp with her mother. She wasn’t popular. I think her mother ends up dying and she’s alone. But she develops like witch’s powers maybe, but I definitely remember that she gets these birds (crows or ravens) that listen to her. She ends up offing the coach in her school and some other people who were mean to her by using the birds. They would follow people and watch them. I think she ends up liking this boy but of course he’s not really into her. And the birds get him too. I can’t remember the ending, or if I even finished it because I think I got caught reading it lol.
