This book wasn't as magical as The Voyage of the Sparrowhawk, but was entertaining, timely, and a good "guide" to readers of the target market (aged 8-12). As an adult reader I felt it was trying to be too encompassing - colour, strong females, adventure, environmentalism. But it was still a good read, and worth gifting to my favorite young readers.

A storm-felled tree carved into a Viking longboat and moored on a cliff top. An ancient house, bombed and rebuilt, guarded by a tree named after a legend. Clear waters that are home to inquisitive seals, and, if you’re especially lucky, a great crested newt. Within a few pages of Natasha Farrant’s The Rescue of Ravenwood, my plan was to move to Ravenwood and never leave. Like the woods in Katya Balen’s October, October, Ravenwood is a magical place, a refuge from the noise and chaos of the city. Growing up in such a world, it’s no surprise that 11-year-old Bea and Raffy, along with their new friend Noa, will do anything to save it, especially when Bea’s uncle Jack and his sly developer friend Ant plan to cut down Yggdrasil, the family’s beloved tree, and turn Ravenwood into a fancy hotel. What follows is an adventure that takes readers across Europe and back again, where the kindness of eccentric strangers and the gumption of formidable grandmothers, helps the children, and their close-knit community, to fight for Ravenwood – and everything it stands for. Belonging, and the need for a safe home, is a key theme throughout the novel, as the children see families displaced by war and poverty.Reminiscent of Eva Ibbotson’s classic adventure stories and Hilary McKay’s family sagas, The Rescue of Ravenwood is a warm, witty, and powerful celebration of found families, the beauty of the natural world, and the importance of fighting for what you believe in. This will be a book that people will come back to.

The second part of the book is much better than the first one. The first part is too political correct and frankly boring and the second part is a real adventure.

This was a really special book and an absolute delight to read.Ravenwood is a special old house and garden where Bea and her friend Raffy live with their found family (her uncle Leo and his mum Martha). They live a whimsical childhood, playing in the grounds of the house and on the beach until one day life outside their known world starts to intrude - Bea and Raffy both begin to discover their real families and when Ravenwood comes under threat, they have to decide whether there is anything they can do.It was so well written with so many exciting adventures and really interesting characters. At times, Bea, Raffy and their friend Noa, along with all of the adults made poor choices or behaved badly but the strength of love and friendship really came through.A highly recommended book from a brilliant author.
