Publisher's synopsis
A gripping time-slip adventure, in the tradition of Ruth Park’s Playing Beatie Bow.
[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]’Beginning and ending, always the same, always now. The game, the story, the riddle, hiding and seeking. Crow comes from this place; this place comes from Crow. And Crow has work for you.'[/perfectpullquote]
Sadie isn’t thrilled when her mother drags her from the city to live in the country town of Boort. But soon she starts making connections – connections with the country, with the past, with two boys, Lachie and Walter, and, most surprisingly, with the ever-present crows.
When Sadie is tumbled back in time to view a terrible crime, she is pulled into a strange mystery. Can Sadie, Walter and Lachie figure out a way to right old wrongs, or will they be condemned to repeat them?
