Description

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

To Bea, Noa and little Raffy, The Rescue of 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. And, of course, beyond the house is the garden, with its lake teeming with wildlife, its ancient trees, home to many a den, and the secret cove where you can jump from the rocks into the clear blue sea . . .

So the idea that Ravenwood 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 all make our own choices. It's just a matter of deciding what we really care about.

A beautiful, soulful, exciting story about holding on to what's precious to us, and taking care of the extraordinary nature that surrounds us.
