The Raven's Song

Bren MacDibble, Zana Fraillon

From Shelf: Old Barn Books. Teen Fiction from around the world published in Petworth

A powerful dual-voice dystopian adventure from two of Australia's finest contemporary authors, combining their passions for mythology and ecology and showing how a sustainable world might be forged from chaos.

Honour Book, Australian Children's Book Council Book of the Year 2023. The Raven's Song alternates between the stories of Phoenix, who lives in a near-future world impacted by climate change and a devastating pandemic; and Shelby, one hundred years in the future in a post-pandemic, post-pollution, post-city world where each community is exactly three hundred and fifty people sustainably subsisting on seven hundred hectares. The story of a world that is beginning to fall apart, and a chance to see it all put back together, The Raven's Song is a vision of hope for the future, seen through the eyes of the young people who will fight for it.
