Sure, you could see the massive rock from the Pacific coast. On a clearer day, you may get a glimpse of the prison, or the empty dock that used to welcome boats and ferries. You could even see the lighthouse, once proud and bright but now extinguished. Forgotten. The ravens were perfectly fine with this situation. It was nice and quiet without humans. People could be noisy, and theyd just shoo the ravens away or give them a slightly terrified look. Ravens were dark and scary to people. Here on the island, they got to live in uninterrupted peace. Without the humans around, it was easy to forget that Raven Island was once the site of a supermax prison, the kind of place you sent the toughest, most dangerous criminals. Like Big Mickey, that notorious mobster no prison seemed to be able to tame-- Details ISBN0593404637 Author Fleur Bradley Audience Age 8-12 Language English Year 2022 ISBN-10 0593404637 ISBN-13 9780593404638 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2022-08-23 Imprint Viking Books for Young Readers Publisher Penguin USA Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States US Release Date 2022-08-23 UK Release Date 2022-08-23 DEWEY 813.6 Audience Children / Juvenile NZ Release Date 2022-09-05 AU Release Date 2022-09-05 Pages 272 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
