'A charming fantasy about two children saving an endangered forest [...] Shepherd is a natural storyteller' - THE TELEGRAPH 5* review
'A warm, witty and wondrous adventure' - Maz Evans, author of WHO LET THE GODS OUT?
Have you ever looked at a tree and seen a face staring back? Maybe you spotted a knobbly brow or a knotty pair of eyes, or even a mossy beard? Well, next time you do, stop staring and say hello!
When Iggy discovers overgrown Wildtop Wood at the end of his new garden, he couldn't be more excited. A whole new world opens up for him and his brother Cal, high in the treetops, a world of tangled greenery and unexpected adventure.
But some say the wood is a place of danger and mystery. And as Iggy and Cal venture further into the trees, they hear whispers of a fading green magic, and scampering animals seem to be leading them to a secret deep at the heart of the wood. Could it be that the wood needs them just as much as they need it?
Are you ready to join the Treetoppers?
Then come on in - the Green is waiting!
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Delightful' * Sophie Anderson, author of THE HOUSE WITH CHICKEN LEGS * A warm, wild hug of a book. Andy Shepherd properly writes for children, with love and with a wonderful sense of humour. * Jenny McLachlan, author of THE LAND OF ROAR * Andy Shepherd is an utter treasure. Magic grows wherever she writes and this is another warm, witty and wondrous adventure * Maz Evans, author of WHO LET THE GODS OUT? * Another gem from Andy Shepherd. THE WOOD WHERE MAGIC GROWS is a gloriously uplifting story of hope, tenacity and a little bit of magic. * Kate Poels, author of ON WINGS TO THE STARS * What a delight! This wonderful story celebrates the magic of nature with all the warmth, humour, and charm that make Andy's books so special. I can't wait to join the Treetoppers on their next adventure! * Chrissie Sains, author of AN ALIEN IN THE JAM FACTORY *
