When Getwin, Lea and Buckle - with the help of Sharp the raven - unearth the trickster Book of Blacke, they embark on a quest to undo the controls on their world, seeking justice for the Scribes who are forced to work and for those who have never been allowed to read or write.

The city of Wyle comes alive with danger and intrigue as our heroes contend with the secrets of the Scholar's Library, a magical boat, curious creatures, a secret reading and writing society, sleeping trees and the twists and turns of the ancient city.

Can the friends stay safe? Will they be able to free the Scribes? Will they make enough trouble to shake the foundations of their world?

This unmissable sequel to award-winning The Raven's Eye Runaways is rich with wonder and a thirst for justice.

Perfect for middle grade readers looking for:

- exciting, action-filled fantasy

- strong characters with complex friendships

- a wild, imaginative world to be immersed into

PRAISE FOR THE RAVEN'S EYE RUNAWAYS

'A bewitching story that will captivate readers. There's twists and turns aplenty, and magic too, with Mabey setting a cracking pace. The characters are full of vigour and personality, and flaws too.' Rebekah Lyell, NZ Booklovers

'With a gorgeous turn of phrase, unique characters and an exciting plot, The Raven's Eye Runaways is worth a read no matter your age.' Kristin Stefanoff, Glam Adelaide

'The work of a writer who wields her words with exquisite care and understands the power of great storytelling.' NZCYA judges

'The world she has created, and the characters that reside there, feel authentic and inevitable as if they have lived with her for a long time. The story is translated onto the page with wit, restraint and confidence. It's a talented rendering of a beautiful world and I instantly capitulated to the reality of it.' Hera Lindsay Bird
