The Ravenmasters Secret, Dec 18 2005
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: The Ravenmaster's Secret: Escape From the Tower of London (Paperback)
The Ravenmasters Secret is a great story for everyone of all ages. The Ravenmasters Secret gets you wondering what you would do if you were in the same shoes as the main character. The main Character is Forrest who he and his family live in the tower of London, he is the Ravenmasters son. He takes care of ravens and also feeds the prisoner which he is in charge of, forrest has many differnet chores around the fortress. In the story he gets caught into a deep secret which he and is friend, the rat catcher, Ned risk their lives to save a scottish rebels daughter who is a prisoner,named Madeline, she is the same age as Forrest and Ned.
Forrest gets into many tough situations which I would not have the courage to risk my life for. In the book you learn about the different lifestyles and theculture of England around 1735.
The Ravenmasters secret is based on a true story, but not real characters, it is based on several attempts of the escape of the Tower of London. The Ravenmasters Secret is a wonderful book which once you start you can't stop until you find out the conclusion to see how the plan to escape turns out.

A Wonderful and Touching Story..., Dec 25 2008

I just finished this book last night and had to come and right a review. It was amazing!! It grabbed my attention right from the beginning and held it the whole time! I stayed up all night just to finish it.
It is such a wonderful story and the ending is, although a little sad, is still satisfying to know that Forrest learned where true happiness and contentment can be. I highly recommend it for old and young alike!!

Forrest, Maddie and Rat, Dec 12 2007
By Andrew Hume "Calhoun Fourth Grade" - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: The Ravenmaster's Secret: Escape From the Tower of London (Paperback)
In 1735 a boy named Forrest Harper lives in the Tower of London. His dad is the Ravenmaster and someday Forrest hopes to be the Ravenmaster. One day the town is going to have a hanging, so his family goes. At the hanging, some mean boys start teasing him and make him watch the hanging. He wants to prove that he's not a little boy because he's small, so he tells them that he is going to have a tough Scottish prisoner in his part of the Tower. But it turns out that his prisoner is young rebel named Maddie. He befriends Maddie but she is going to have to have her head chopped off! Meanwhile, his friend Rat is an indentured apprentice to a rat catcher. The rat catcher loses a bet with a nasty chimney sweep who makes kids work until they die. Because of the bet, Rat now has to work for the chimney sweep. How can Forrest help his friends escape their terrible fates?
"Dree yer ain weird" means "face your destiny" in Scottish. I think that Elvira Woodruff means that as a moral because Forrest Harper has to find out his destiny. The Ravenmaster's Secret is suspenseful because you want to know what happens to Forrest and his friends. If their plan doesn't work out perfectly then Rat, Maddie and Forrest will die. Forrest will die because he is a traitor to England. It is interesting reading a book set so long ago and in a different country with a different community. Some people do not like death, so if you're one of those people this may not be the best choice. I think it's a good book even though it has killing. That's the way things were back then.
