Description

Carmen and Angelo, a pair of rascally ravens, descend on Hattie Greystone's farm stead and take whatever they want from her garden. They tease her dog, Buster, steal kindling from her wood pile, and "borrow" her scarf to line their nest. But when Dink, the last of their chicks to hatch, falls out of the nest, Hattie and Buster nurse him back to health. The ravens must then ask where Dink really belongs, with them or with his new-found friends? This wonderfully written children's book immerses kids on the wild adventures of Carmen and Angelo through the beautiful illustrations.


FIVE STAR REVIEW!

“A heartwarming and beautifully illustrated adventure about two mischievous ravens, a tiny lost chick, and the unexpected friendship that changes everything. A FINALIST and highly recommended!” —The Wishing Shelf Book Awards


REVIEWS FROM THE WISHING SHELF BOOK AWARD READERS:

“This book made me laugh because the ravens kept taking things from the farm. Buster the dog was silly and brave. The pictures are really beautiful and I looked at them for a long time.” — Leo, age 7

“I read this with my grandma and we both loved it. My favourite character was Buster because he protected Dink. I want another story about the ravens going on adventures.”— Mason, age 8 – with a little help from grandma
