The Rescue of Ravenwood

LoveReading4Kids Says

Ravenwood is an eccentric house, surrounded by old trees – in fact it has a collapsed tree taking up a great deal of the kitchen! But to Bea and Raffy it is their home, their refuge and their strength. They form a family with Raffy’s mother, Bea’s uncle and the wonderful countryside around them – full of memories and magical natural places.

Bea struggles with the apparent rejection she faces from her own parents – but whenever she visits them something always seems to go wrong and her mother cries until Bea is back at Ravenwood. But she is bold, creative and adventurous and she and Raffy have the sort of relationship that many siblings would envy.

Until Noa arrives – having a third person around changes the dynamic in their relationship and seems to cause a difficulty in communication for the pair. As they all try to have a summer to remember events conspire against them until they have to fight for what they believe in, and to save their home.

Natasha Farrant writes books that instantly feel like classics – and this is no exception. It is a book rejoicing in celebrating the environment in your own area, as well as exploring the dynamics of families, friendships and courage. I read it from cover to cover and really didn’t want to put it down – it grabs you by the heartstrings and lives on after you have finished it.

We should all make sure we protect our Ravenwood’s. A vital message for today wrapped in a warm and enthralling story.
