“When The Raven's Song first landed on our desks a few months ago, we knew instantly it was going to be perfect for our Macaw boxes. It is packed with fantastic characters and thrilling twists and turns. The setting is so vividly drawn - we loved it!”
~Sarah
In a near-future world impacted by climate change and a devastating pandemic, infected children are being cryogenically frozen to give the government enough time to find a cure that will save them. Each child has a box put together for them with all their favourite things. Among the infected children is Phoenix – his box contains a seed journal as well as a collection of letters to no one. One hundred years in the future, in a post-pandemic, post-pollution, post-city world, Shelby finds the forgotten children in an abandoned city when she ventures out from her rural egg farm. The batteries are degenerating, and the children will die unless she wakes them. But when Phoenix is awoken, danger returns. The children will have to work together to locate a cure, and find a way to a better future.

Melbourne-based Zana Fraillon is an internationally-acclaimed award-winning author of books for young readers, including The Bone Sparrow, which was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and won the Amnesty CILIP Honour Award, and The Lost Soul Atlas, nominated for the 2021 Carnegie Medal.

We are a monthly book subscription by post for children aged 5 to 14, focused on helping families discover new and different chapter books.
This title was sent to subscribers in the Macaw reading group, aged roughly 12 to 14, who need books that feel grown-up but aren’t quite ready for all young adult books.
