Set in a world where plants talk, friendship is hard-won and
adventure is around the bend of every river ... 'Townsend has
crafted an uncannily rich and tactile atmosphere, grounding the
reader in the setting so successfully that I could almost feel the
river mist settling in my hair.' SARAH DRIVER 'Just finished this
breathless marvel and there's so much to love about it. Wild and
imaginative storytelling, it introduces us to talking oaks,
poisonous rock and a central character with a lot to prove.' FLEUR
