Embark on a spellbinding eco-adventure that The Times hails as 'sublime'. From the pen of Costa Award-winning author Natasha Farrant comes a thrilling tale that's both a call to arms and a celebration of our planet's most cherished treasures.
Perched atop a hill, gazing out to sea, lies a place of wonder: Ravenwood. For Bea and Raffy, it's more than a house; it's a sanctuary that embraced them, despite its quirks (like the fallen tree dominating the kitchen). The mere thought of it being sold or demolished is unfathomable. Yet, the children's desires seem inconsequential in the face of adult decisions. Or are they?
This captivating narrative reminds us that we all possess the power to make choices, particularly when we're passionate about a cause. It's a poignant, exhilarating story about safeguarding what's irreplaceable and championing the extraordinary natural world that envelops us.
Lauded as 'a triumph' by The Times and 'a captivating feat of storytelling' by The Sunday Times, this moving adventure has garnered high praise. BookTrust commends its compelling nature, while Emma Carroll, author of 'Letters from the Lighthouse', declares Farrant 'one of my very favourite authors'. Waterstones concurs, hailing her as 'one of the most accomplished children's writers around'.
Join Bea and Raffy in 'The Rescue of Ravenwood', the Sunday Times Children's Book of the Year, and discover why this masterpiece continues to enchant readers and critics alike.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
