Flood and Fang

Flood and Fang (The Raven Mysteries - book 1) - Marcus Sedgwick

‘Rurk!’ I said, expressing my doubts at our plan.

‘Yes, Edgar,’ she said, standing nose to beak, ‘It is exciting, isn’t it? Come on then! Let’s find these tracks.’

Ah well, I thought, I tried.

 

A big shout out to Arbie for recommending this book!

 

There are strange things going on at Castle Otherhand. Housemaids seem to go missing, the cellar keeps flooding, and there are mysterious tracks in the rhubarb patch, but none of the inhabitants seem to notice.....except the castle's resident raven - Edgar.

 

This was a great little story - quite dark but sweet in a gothic sort of way. 

 

I have a soft spot for ravens and the illustrations of Edgar in this one were lovely.
