Crow's Revenge

Reach for this book when your child is facing a situation that feels too big for them to handle or when they are struggling to find their own voice against peer pressure and intimidation. It is an ideal choice for the middle-grade reader who feels overshadowed by others and needs to see that true strength comes from resilience rather than physical dominance. Rooted in the rich tapestry of Welsh mythology, this story follows Brân the Blessed, a giant king who must navigate a world of high-stakes conflict and familial betrayal. While the setting is fantastical, the heart of the story deals with the weight of responsibility and the courage required to do the right thing even when it is difficult. It offers a sophisticated yet accessible exploration of leadership and loyalty, making it a perfect bridge for 9 to 12 year olds transitioning into more complex epic fantasy.
