Arabel's Raven by Joan Aiken, Quentin Blake

adventurous funny lighthearted medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

Three little stories about a very young girl, her flustered parents, and a cranky, inquisitive raven who comes to live with them. Seems like pretty standard silly children's fare for the time, without the meanness of some british children's authors with similar stories.
