SHOW CASE SHOW The Raven

Told from the bird's eye view of a resident raven, this is a deliciously topsy-turvy comedy full of unusual details. The Otherhand family are far from normal and life in Otherhand Castle is distinctly strange. Edgar the raven cares little for them but, given his view point, he can't help noticing that things are going very wrong indeed. Edgar's account of the Otherhand's family life and how they deal with the danger that is besetting them is as original as it is weird. (Julia Eccleshare LOVEREADING4KIDS.COM)
