Summary

‘A sublime eco adventure.’ The Times

From the Costa Award winning author of Voyage of the Sparrowhawk comes an epic adventure with a call to arms: we must fight to save the most treasured things on our planet.

On the top of the hill, overlooking the sea, that’s where you’ll find a magical place . . .

To Bea and Raffy, Ravenwood is home. In its own way, the house rescued them, even if it did have a fallen-down tree taking up most of the kitchen. So the idea that it could be sold. Demolished even. Well, that’s unthinkable. Then again, it’s not like the children get a choice. But the truth is, we can all make our own choices, especially if we care enough . . .

A beautiful, soulful, exciting story about holding onto what’s precious, and guarding the extraordinary nature that surrounds us.

Critic Reviews

Every now and again a children's book comes along that is so delightful and perfectly crafted that the adult reader is transported back to being eight years old, Farrant's Rescue of Ravenwood is one such title.

I WOLFED down this brilliant book – an epic adventure about friends, families and the fight for what is precious. I could not put it down.

Critic Reviews

Gripping, and important – so lightly and deftly done. I found myself waking up and wanting desperately to go and live in Ravenwood – I think all readers will.

Joanna Nadin, author of No Man's Land
Critic Reviews

A beautifully written story of family, friendship, belonging, secrets, courage and intrigue with empowering ecological messages.

Critic Reviews

Grabs hold of your heart and refuses to let go; it is written so exquisitely that you will not want to be parted from it. One of my standout books of 2023 – one that is destined to be a modern classic.
