A girl with her notebook observes the comings and goings of animals throughout fall. As winter approaches, animals busy themselves with their daily lives but somehow anticipate the coming bitter season. Johnston gives this girl a beautiful, observational voice that simply tells life like how it is without fluffiness and over-sentimentality.

Raven highlights the amazing work and loyalty exhibited by Rags during WWI. I've decided to put this in the higher level nonfiction area because Rags gets injured by a bomb. The story is full of action and suspense which will keep an older audience's interest.
