new on the team: Tom Eely, who has been training hard to become a
warden. Grace and Tom reckon they're ready to tackle a mission
together, but they're disappointed when Mum sends them to a quiet
mountain village where ravens have been pestering the locals.
Surely they won't be any opportunities to use their exciting
gadgets or combat skills there? But as the pair investigate, the
situation becomes more puzzling. Why does it seem like the ravens
are protecting something? And are the villagers' tales of a
mountain witch really to be believed? Grace and Tom will have to

raven riddle ... Bestseller Vashti Hardy returns with another
