"An enchanting, profound, and remarkable story that turns fretful wrinkles into smiles."

-Dr. Harold Otis, Ph.D., Professor of English Literature

"Ravenwood is a good read for children and adults who relish sitting on a cedar log in an ancient forest observing forest creatures and their habits."

Through the eyes of Topper, a young city-bred cat, the reader follows Topper's experiences as he adapts to life in a wild, new environment. Topper lands in a clump of sword fern in Ravenwood, abandoned and hungry. His first act is to stalk a large black bird for dinner, but he is interrupted by Sidekick, a doe, who warns that the value of Raven to all of Ravenwood is far greater as surveyor and reporter than to satisfy one hungry feline. Thus begins Topper's many life lessons in the great Pacific Northwest Forest under the wise guidance of Sidekick.

This book is well suited to family reading and values discussion.
