Burnside High School Library: Raven’s mountain / Wendy Orr
Another young reader review, this one for Raven. And much as I love Nim, it’s especially good to hear about readers enjoying my new baby.
I liked this book because I like tramping and climbing. There’s a rockfall at the top of a mountain and Raven, though hurt, is the only one who can get help for the others who are trapped in a cave made by the rockfall. Her journey down the mountain is scary and dangerous. I thought that the author made Raven a real person, though a bit too perfect, maybe.
Who would enjoy this? If you like quick-read adventure stories which make you wonder if you would be able to do what the main character did, then you would probably like this book.
