On the top of the hill, overlooking the sea, that's where you'll find a magicalplace . . .
To Bea, Noa and little Raffy, Ravenwood is home. In its own way, the houserescued 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 teemingwith wildlife, its ancient trees, home to many a den, and the secret cove whereyou 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 decidingwhat 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.
