Nevermoor meets Narnia in this spectacular magical
adventure with an environmental twist from Pari
Thomson, an unforgettable new voice in children's
fantasy.
Greenwild is a secret world of "green" natural magic that lives alongside our own,
full of radiant singing flowers, creeping Blood Brambles, speeding Lilypaddle boats,
malevolent Hydra plants, and so much more.
Pari Thomson's writing sets her up as a future classic reminiscent of Diana Wynne
Jones or Eva Ibbotson, and her debut sparkles with unforgettable descriptions and
magical world-building.
Features beautiful illustrations by Elisa Paganelli throughout, plus a map of
Greenwild.
For ages 9+
Open the door to a spellbinding world where the
wilderness is alive and a deep magic rises from the
earth itself . . .
Eleven-year-old Daisy Thistledown is on the run. Her mother has been keeping big,
glittering secrets, and now she has vanished. Daisy knows it’s up to her to find Ma—
but someone is hunting her across London. Someone determined to stop her from
discovering the truth.
So when Daisy flees to safety through a mysterious hidden doorway, she can barely
believe her eyes—she has stepped out of the city and into another world.
This is the Greenwild. Bursting with magic and full of amazing natural wonders, it
seems too astonishing to be true. But not only is this land of green magic real, it
holds the key to finding Daisy’s mother.
And someone wants to destroy it.
Daisy must band together with a botanical genius, a boy who can talk with animals,
and a cat with an attitude to uncover the truth about who she really is. Only then
can she channel the power that will change her whole world . . . and save the
Greenwild itself.
