The Ravenmaster's Secret
Elvira had some great stories to tell about this book during her talk. She had a chance to speak to the Royal Ravenmaster of London herself while performing her research!
Set in the Tower of London in 1735, this is a book rich with history, adventure, and suspense. A young boy must decide between following the rules he has always lived by, or helping a young daughter of the enemy escape from the Tower with her life intact.
