About This Book

I have a secret: a mysterious raven visits young Edgar Allan Poe on a cold Christmas Eve. Edgar thinks he’s lost his magic forever after losing his first pen, Lenore, but the raven shows him visions of the past, present, and a spooky future. And that’s only the beginning of Edgar’s incredible adventure!
