Raff's Road Where Magic Happens

Magic happens in Raff's Road all the time although when Verity comes to stay, things at first seem unremarkable. Even Grandma's dog, Jack, seems very ordinary. Ordinary, that is, until Verity discovers a small person living in the letterbox - a gardenite called Rosy Flower Garden. From that moment, Verity, Rosy and Jack are busy having adventures in and out of the letterbox.But then disaster strikes. The local councilman plans to get rid of all the letterboxes. Verity tries to convince him not to do it, but he wasn't going to listen to a ten-year-old. Will Rosy have to leave Raff's Road or will Rosy and all the letterboxes be saved?A surprisingly funny tale about a very magical place in Australia. The story gives a high five to the craft of letter writing, older folk and kids, and ordinary - or not so ordinary - dogs.
