Greenwild

The thrilling first book in the most extraordinary new fantasy series from debut author Pari Thomson. 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.

Daisy Thistledown’s epic adventure continues in the spellbinding sequel to the New York Times bestseller Greenwild, In a land ruled by water, treachery runs deep, and Daisy Thistledown’s journey is just beginning... Desperate to join the expedition searching for her mother and the other missing Botanists, Daisy and her friends abandon the safety of magical Mallowmarsh. Facing danger on the high seas, they find themselves pursued across the waves by ruthless Grim Reapers. But they will need help to defeat these dangerous enemies. Their greatest hope: to find the legendary Iffenwild, a mysterious city hidden beyond the sea and lost to time. New discoveries await, and a strange botanical magic stirs beneath the waves. It will take all of Daisy’s courage and determination—and the trust of an unexpected new friend—if she is to save the Greenwild from a terrible fate.

“The Secret Garden” meets “A Wrinkle in Time” in the spellbinding final book of the New York Times-bestselling “Greenwild” series. Daisy and her friends may have defeated the Grim Reapers in Iffenwild, but it's clear that the battle for the Greenwild is only just beginning... With the support of the Iffenwilders and their mighty water magic, Daisy and her friends are finally setting off to rescue the Botanists held prisoner in the heart of the Amazon rainforest—including Daisy's ma and the Prof's grandfather. But when an unexpected attack sends the rescue mission spinning off course, Daisy, Indigo, and the Prof find themselves in the Amazon alone—where they must draw on every ounce of their courage, magic, and ingenuity to survive. This is a battle that can't be won single-handedly, and Daisy will need the support of her new friend Max, a strange Grayside girl called Fen, and the massed might of the Amazerians, guardians of the biggest and most magical pocket in the Greenwild—if she is to take on the Reapers once and for all.
