Reviews

"A ghost story guaranteed to reel you in from the first page and then give you the shivers" -- The Times Children's Book of the Week

"A melancholic yet spine-tingling ghost story written with grace and poignancy. The message of togetherness within landscapes and throughout history is the most perfect one Marcus could have left for his readers." -- Keith Gray

"Every now and again a book comes along that knocks me sideways. This is one of those books" -- Kate Poels, author

"Complex and atmospheric ... Like all the best ghost stories, Ravencave is inextricably linked to place and people, with a raw emotional heart." -- CLPE

"The landscape is gorgeously rendered and the prose as eerie, luminous and clear as ever. Here teenagers will find hope, warmth and reconciliation." -- Literary Review
