Welcome to the December 2012 Ravenwood Bulletin Newsletter. I'm Felix Navidad, and I'll be arriving in the Spiral soon to start off the Yuletide Festival. We hold the Yuletide Festival every year and this year it's going to be better than ever!

There will be decorations in the Wizard City Commons, and I'll be taking up my usual post at the fountain in the Wizard City Shopping District. I have many Yuletide themed items for sale, and you'll find many more will be arriving in the Crown Shop throughout the month of December, so keep checking back for new items during our "12 Days of the Spiral" special holiday event starting December 7th 2012!

Keep reading the newsletter for more details about Plant-a-palooza, Harold's Book of the Month and much much more!

  This is the November 2012 installment of my Book of the Month Club. These books have been suggested by a fellow Librarian from Earth, her name is Kit Ward-Crixell and she is a librarian in New Braunfels, Texas, USA.

Our chosen book this month is Ghost Knight, by Cornelia Funke. If you’re a fan of Ms. Funke’s books, like Inkheart and Dragon Rider, you probably already know about her newest book, Ghost Knight.

Jon has just started boarding school in Salisbury England. He likes the other kids, but he’s got a big problem – he’s being haunted by ghosts! What can he do? Get a ghost to protect him! He recruits Sir William Longspee, the ghost of a famous knight. But Longspee needs help of his own, too. Will Jon be able to help the knight? As you can imagine, this book can be a bit scary, with lots of ghosts and graveyards. If you don’t mind that, you might like the adventure!

Look for this book in your school or local library and enjoy reading, young Wizards!
