One night, Lucys angry stepfather takes eight-year-old Lucy from
the little room she has been locked away in for years, puts her in
the backseat of his van, and leaves her in a remote English wood.
Lucy has learned to read in her room years, and her only knowledge
of nature comes from books. When she experiences the miraculous
outdoors directly, she is full of wonder at the beauty and life all
around her. Most of all, she is relieved to be free of her
stepfather. Lucy discovers freedom, magic, and an extraordinary
friendship, her first ever, with a surprise visitor, nine-year-old
Will, who, bewitched by her wild eyes, long black hair and strange
speech, brings her live chickens to give her eggs, food daily, and
a recorder to imitate the woods sounds. Lucy feels safe and at home
for the first time, sleeping inside grandpa trees hollow trunk, and
playing woodland music during the day that puts a spell on all who
hear it. Lucys greatest fear is that she will be found. But the
police do eventually capture her and they take her to an orphanage
run by strict nuns where the bullying and fascination for toys and
television seem strange to Lucy who sees this man-made world as
another prison, cut off from outdoor miracles. She eventually
manages to escape back to the woods where she and Will, inside
grandpa tree, experience magical guidance on how to continue their
journey. Book 2 will be: Lucy and the Forest School of Wonder.
