What
the Raven Saw by Samantha Ellen-Bound
Father Cadman is a very friendly priest. He is a
great friend to the raven but a so-called lie made them enemies. This is a book
about how the raven comes up with an amazing plan to reconstruct the friendship
between the raven and Father Cadman.
I liked the part when the raven helped Todd the
ghost make his living sister happy by setting out bottle caps in the shape of a
T on his grave. It was a nice thing to do and it really made me wonder how good
it would be if dead people could somehow communicate with us.
The raven is the main character in this story
and he has the special power to talk, see and communicate with dead people
which living people can’t. In the book, the raven uses his intelligence to the
greatest of his abilities to help win back the friendship of Father Cadman, the
gentle priest who was once the raven’s best friend -using a few friends-dead
and alive.
I liked this book because it had a special and
unique idea and Samantha-Ellen described the actions and feelings of all the
characters in the book with really appropriate words. With well-chosen
vocabulary, it had the power to change the way a reader thought about different
animals, great and small.
Many people, especially older children will like
this book. It describes many of the raven’s encounters with different people
and their unique situations and how he resolved them. I highly recommend this book
to children of all ages. ‘What the Raven Saw’ is a beautiful story that can
touch someone’s heart.
