Synopsis

Not just one but two mysteries to solve! Vlad, Mackie, Tish, and Maggie hardly know where to begin! Baby crows have been taken from their nests at night without a trace! Then they hear the strange, age-old story of the long-lost grave of Spooky Wood, found on a foggy night years ago and never seen again! A new gang is quickly formed. The four crows, with helpful advice from their gran and the invaluable assistance of an unexpected and unlikely new friend, embark upon a mission to solve the two mysteries at once. Where have the young crows gone, and who has taken them? Just where is the lost grave? Will they discover it and whom—or indeed, what—is buried there? Will they survive the coming storm? Can they elude the prowling figure in the wood? Who else will they meet along the way, and do they have the cunning, bravery, and nerve needed to complete their mission? Their adventures had only just begun!

About the Author

Caroline Cutmore lives with her husband Neil and their son Alex in the heart of the countryside in East Sussex, on the south coast of England. She grew up in the lovely, seaside town of Eastbourne, with its wonderful coastline, chalk cliffs and stunning scenery. Her childhood there was spent, either down on the beach, playing in the rock pools and swimming in the sea, or upon the Downs, (the beautiful, rolling hills surrounding the town), building camps under the gorse bushes or ice skating on the dew ponds. Depending on the weather, of course! She comes from a family of teachers, so has an ingrained love of the English language, but chose a very different path, now coaching beginners in the unique art of fly fishing when she is not writing! She draws inspiration for her stories from the surrounding countryside, with its incredible wildlife and from the very special, quintessential English woodland where, every day, in all weathers, she walks her beloved dog, Dora. Caroline loves: Snowstorms, bread and cheese, fresh air and ironing! Caroline hates: Marzipan, frogs, skiing and dusting!
