'An unforgettable story, rich with wild magic' Katherine Woodfine
'Only storytellers like Abi can write so realistically and yet so magically about the natural world and our relationship with it, both good and otherwise. Nobody does it better. In fact, she's in a league of her own.' Phil Earle
'A heart-pounding adventure full of magic, wilderness and wonder. Just gorgeous!' Mel Taylor-Bessent
Emmy doesn't believe in miracles. In her experience, hoping for extraordinary things never ends well. So, when she is separated from her parents by a blizzard in the mountains of Mongolia, she assumes that she and the holiday are well and truly over.
But from out of the shadows of the cave she shelters in steps a snow leopard cub. An animal even more lost than Emmy. Then along comes a boy who believes in impossible things.
And suddenly, Emmy finds herself on a quest to find a secret land, where wild animals live in peace. But can Emmy, along with a dreamer and a snow leopard cub, reach Whisperfell before the hunters close in?
A magical adventure filled with enchanted maps
An animal adventure with majestic snow leopards.
A story of a young girl learning to hope.
With environmental themes
Gorgeously illustrated throughout by an award-winning artist

Abi Elphinstone grew up in Scotland where she spent most of her childhood running wild across the moors, hiding in tree houses and building dens in the woods. After being coaxed out of her tree house, she studied English at Bristol University and then worked as an English teacher in Tanzania, Berkshire and London. She is the bestselling author of the Ember Spark series, Sky Song, Saving Neverland, The Unmapped Chronicles, The Dreamsnatcher trilogy and, for younger readers, The Snow Dragon and The Frost Goblin. When she's not writing, Abi works as a trustee for The Lamp of Lothian, speaks in schools about the transformative power of reading and writing and travels the world looking for her next story. Her latest adventures include living with the Kazakh Eagle Hunters in Mongolia and dog-sledding across the Arctic.
