STORYLINES NOTABLE BOOK 2024

Three friends and a one-eyed raven find themselves up against the rulers who restrict the gifts of writing and reading to an elite few.
They must go on a wild and unpredictable rescue mission. Who and what will they meet along their way? And what is the terrible truth behind everything they think they know about their world?

'It's a lyrical, lively debut, and promises more good things to come. No maybe about this Mabey.' David Hill, Kete Books
'A compassionate and intelligent book, full of a deep reverence for the world and those in it. And for miracles of all kinds, in whatever manner they occur.' Hera Lindsay Bird, The Spinoff
'A bewitching story that will captivate readers. There's twists and turns a plenty, and magic too, with Mabey setting a cracking pace. The characters are full of vigour and personality, and flaws too.' Rebekah Lyell, NZ Booklovers
