A gripping, beautifully-told fantasy quest set in a parallel medieval world.
Three friends and a one-eyed raven find themselves up against the rulers who restrict the gifts of writing and reading to an elite few.
They must go on a wild and unpredictable rescue mission. Who and what will they meet along their way? And what is the terrible truth behind everything they think they know about their world?

Children’s fantasy doesn’t get any better than this! Set in a medieval world where reading and writing are reserved for the elite, three friends and a one-eyed raven embark on an epic rescue mission. Jam-packed with powerful themes and allegory, it explores friendship, rebellion, classism, the power of literacy, and so much more. I love that Mabey doesn’t underestimate or talk down to younger readers. Sure to become a kiwi classic enjoyed by readers aged nine to ninety-nine.
