Greenwild: The World Behind the Door is the first book in the most extraordinary new fantasy series of 2023.
'Greenwild is a thrilling adventure that takes seed in your imagination and runs wild!' - M. G. Leonard
Open the door to a spellbinding world where the wilderness is alive and a deep magic rises from the earth itself . . .
Daisy Thistledown has recently escaped from boarding school and has a mystery to solve. Her search for her missing mother will lead her across London and through a hidden doorway to another world, bursting with magic: the Greenwild.
But all is not well in this astonishing land. Before long Daisy finds herself confronting a dangerous presence that threatens green magic on both sides of the door. Daisy must band together with a botanical genius, a boy who can talk to animals and a cat with an attitude, to channel the power that can revive the Greenwild and find her missing mother - and save her own world too.
Phenomenal . . . If you don’t believe in magic, you will after you’ve read Greenwild.A. F. Steadman, author of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief
