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.

‘One of my very favourite authors.’ Emma Carroll, author of Letters from the Lighthouse
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.
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.
A beautifully written story of family, friendship, belonging, secrets, courage and intrigue with empowering ecological messages.
One of my very favourite authors.
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.
