Paperback9781452014609 Signed By Author Rooktime It is an ordinary summer's day when Mark and Laura Murray set off for a picnic. To their astonishment,as they ride round a familiar corner they find their way blocked by a high hedge. Abandoning their bikes, they push through the tangle of spiky twigs and find themselves not in Pike Lane, as they had expected, but standing at the edge of a vast lake. Although they do not know it, they are in Rookland, kingdom of Silver Crest, lord of the birdmen:creatures with the bodies of men and the heads and talons of giant birds. Two of Silver Crest's servants are at this moment rowing across the lake to capture the brother and sister, in order to add them to the team of other children who already work as slaves in the pine forests of Rookland. Will Mark and Laura be condemned to live for ever as prisoners of these vicious birdmen, with their terrifying eyes on the backs of their hands, and their malicious pets, the rook-spies? 'Rooktime' tells of the many dangers they and their fellow slaves have to face, dangers that unite them all and reveal reserves of courage they never knew they possessed. By Author.
