INTERMEDIATE FICTION
George, Jean Craighead

Charlie's Raven

(4) 4-6 Inspired by a legend that ravens can cure illness, Charlie captures a baby raven and brings it to his ailing grandfather, a retired naturalist. Grandfather and grandson study Blue Sky's often mysterious behavior in a novel whose plot is overwhelmed by its detailed accounting of raven life. Still, George's clear prose and simple line drawings should appeal to young nature lovers.
