Daisy Thistledown has 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, filled with plants and 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.

Continue the magic with The City Beyond the Sea and The Forest in the Sky. *Shortlisted for the Books Are My Bag Readers Award**Longlisted for the Yoto Carnegie Medal for Writing**The Times Children's Book of the Week*'A cornucopia of wonder' – The Guardian'An eco-thriller novel every child should read' – The Telegraph'Greenwild is a thrilling adventure that takes seed in your imagination and runs wild!' – M.
