When Gabriel rescues an orphaned baby raven named Paladin, he discovers a family secret: Finleys can bond with ravens in extraordinary ways. Along with Paladin and three valiant friends, Gabriel sets out to bring his father home. They soon discover that Adam is being held captive by the evil demon Corax--half man, half raven, and Adam's very own disgraced brother--in a foreboding netherworld of birds called Aviopolis. With help from his army of ghoulish minions, the valravens, Corax is plotting to take over the land above, and now only Gabriel stands in his way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A \u003cb\u003evivid, compelling fantasy\u003c\/b\u003e that sends you off to a world you will not soon forget.\" --\u003cb\u003eNorton Juster, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Phantom Tollbooth\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A great read for fantasy lovers who have worn out their copies of \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHarry Potter\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e.\" --\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, Starred \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Brimful of antic energy and inventive flair, \u003cb\u003elike the best middle-grade fantasies\u003c\/b\u003e; readers, like baby birds, will devour it and clamor for future installments.\" --\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Hagen is the author of two novels for adults. \u003ci\u003eThe Laments\u003c\/i\u003e--a \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller and recipient of the William Saroyan International Prize for writing--has been compared to the work of John Irving and Ann Tyler and described by \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e as \"a funny, touching novel about the meaning of family.\" \u003ci\u003eTom Bedlam\u003c\/i\u003e was called \"a Victorian three-decker novel [that] shines with contemporary clarity and moves at the speed of 'The Sopranos'\" by the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times.\u003c\/i\u003e Hagen had lived on three continents by the time he was twelve.
