Raven's Song
Regular price
€13.99
Honour Book, Australian Children’s Book Council Book of the Year 2023. The Raven’s Song alternates between the stories of Phoenix, who lives in a near-future world impacted by climate change and a devastating pandemic; and Shelby, one hundred years in the future in a post-pandemic, post-pollution, post-city world where each community is exactly three hundred and fifty people sustainably subsisting on seven hundred hectares. The story of a world that is beginning to fall apart, and a chance to see it all put back together, The Raven’s Song is a vision of hope for the future, seen through the eyes of the young people who will fight for it.
Twice nominated for the Carnegie Medal, winner and shortlistee for the Australian Children's Book of the year, twice winner of New Zealand Children's Book of the Year, amongst many other accolades, Bren's books are set in climate changed worlds and can truly be described as 'award-winning'. Bren writes wild adventures for those curious about the future and hopes her stories give them courage, ideas and the language to talk about the future they'd like to see.
