Winner of the Overall Waterstones Children's Book Prize
Blackwells Children's Book of the Year


Daisy Thistledown has escaped from boarding school and has a mystery to solve. Her search for her missing mother will lead her across London and through a hidden doorway to another world, filled with plants and bursting with magic: the Greenwild.

But all is not well in this astonishing land. Before long Daisy finds herself confronting a dangerous presence that threatens green magic on both sides of the door. Daisy must band together with a botanical genius, a boy who can talk to animals, and a cat with an attitude, to channel the power that can revive the Greenwild and find her missing mother - and save her own world too.

Embark on an unforgettable adventure through the Greenwild, in this enchanting fantasy with an environmental twist.

So vivid you can almost smell the foliage.

Downloaded to brighten a long journey, we were all bereft when it ended. The plot is compelling, the language richly evocative. We will be hunting down other Pari Thomson titles.

Lovely Children's book

Such a sweet and delightful read. The characters are lovely, especially brave little Daisy who is putting up with such extreme circumstances in her life from the boarding school, to the situation with her mother, to the discovery of Mallowmarsh and magic.

Good if a little cliched at times

A decent story but it took a while for me to connect with The main character. The plant magic is interesting but feels a little limited compared with other stories where plant magic is just one aspect of The whole magical world. And there was some very predictable plot beats that I’ve seen before in a bunch of other stories. But if you’re a child and it’s the first time you’re reading a story like this I think it would be pretty good for them. So yeah a decent adventure book but nothing really stand out.
