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 spunky cat 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.

Beyond the walls of our world lies a place where nature isn't just alive—it listens, breathes, and fights back. In Greenwild, the boundaries between the botanical and the magical dissolve, revealing a hidden realm of ancient roots, fierce greenery, and quiet rebellion. This fantasy series for middle-grade readers doesn’t just open a door to another world—it beckons them through it with vines curling from the pages and wind that whispers secrets only the brave can hear.

Read full series description

At its heart is Daisy Thistledown, a girl who doesn’t quite belong in the everyday world but finds purpose in the one that blooms beyond. What begins as a search for her missing mother unfurls into a journey through lush, living landscapes teeming with elemental power—and danger. Daisy’s courage, curiosity, and growing connection to the Greenwild draw readers into a world that’s both richly imagined and urgently real.

Infused with environmental themes and grounded in a sense of wonder, the series invites readers to reconsider what’s wild, what’s worth protecting, and what stories live beneath the surface of things. With prose as lyrical as it is adventurous, it evokes the legacy of timeless fantasy while forging a voice entirely its own. This is not just another tale of magic—it’s a reminder that the world around us might be more enchanted than we think. You only have to know where to look.
