It sounded like a respectable and worthy enough death for an
explorer - tumbling from an ice bridge to be impaled upon a mammoth
tusk - but Stella really, really didn't want that to happen, just
the same.Join Stella Starflake Pearl and her three fellow explorers
as they trek across the snowy Icelands and come face-to-face with
frost fairies, snow queens, outlaw hideouts, unicorns, pygmy
dinosaurs and carnivorous cabbages . . . When Stella and three
other junior explorers get separated from their expedition can they
cross the frozen wilderness and live to tell the tale?
Raven's Roost is a story about Halloween. A mother and her three
children relocate to a small town on the eastern seaboard to be
closer to her parents and sister who live in the small town. It is
fall and Halloween is fast approaching. The relocated children
become friends with the two little boys who live next door to them.
The two little boys harbor a dark secret about the old house on top
of a hill called Raven's Roost. The two little boys have already
discovered a secret cave and tunnel under the old house and they
believe from what they have discovered that the house is haunted.
There is further evidence that something mysterious is going on up
at the old house and the children believe it is haunted. A
mysterious floating light appears sometime after dark and there are
sounds coming from the top of the hill that suggests a ghost does
live at the house. The children set out to discover exactly what is
going on up at the old house. On Halloween night they sneak off to
go up to the old 'haunted' house under the guise of trick or
treating the occupants of the house if there are any. Much to the
dismay of the children's parents, the children have found a gold
coin in the cave beneath the old mansion. The children's plot to
trick or treat the house goes awry when a monstrous form appears at
the house and an apparent ghost does appear during their Halloween
night trip to the house.
