Snowed In at Ravensbay (A Ravensbay Short Story)

By Cressida Burton

‘It’s been blizzarding all night. The entire headland has been cut off. I’m afraid we’re all snowed in until further notice.’

It's the Christmas holidays at last, and Paige Buchanan just can't wait to accompany her best friend, Taryn Konstantine, back to her luxurious family home, The Paddocks, for several days of festive fun. There'll be delicious food to eat, animals to play with, and even ponies to ride... it's going to be just perfect. Except that an unexpected snowstorm arrives on the very last day of term, cutting off the Ravensbay headland, and any girls still at school find themselves snowed in. Suddenly all their Christmas plans are ruined!

Then, as the school struggles to cope with power cuts, Paige and Taryn find themselves back in their year seven dorm, Puffins, with an old friend. Believing that all they can do to amuse themselves is to watch Christmas films and eat chocolate whilst they wait the storm out, the girls find instead that they are required to help in some very unexpected activities, including a rescue mission across the bitter, snow-clad moors that, if they don't succeed, could result in a terrible tragedy.

Snowed In at Ravensbay is a very special short story, set immediately after White Horses at Ravensbay and during the Christmas holidays, and is available exclusively for Kindle download and on Kindle Unlimited.
