The Secret Wild: eBook (Reflowable ePub)

By Alex Evelyn

A fantastical, botanical adventure about friendship, bravery – and finding home in a new place.

Fern has spent her whole life in the rainforest, and loves nothing more than climbing, exploring and talking to the trees. When she suddenly has to leave all that behind and move to London, with only an eccentric uncle for company, Fern feels entirely uprooted. But when she meets a little plant that can understand her every word, it seems that things are looking up! That is until strange things start happening in the city: giant lily pads on the Thames, monkey vines on the London Eye, and now her new friend is starting to wilt… Can they solve this growing mystery together – before it’s too late?

Reviews

'I think kids are going to go wild about this book! It’s a real page-turner with oodles of heart – pacy, intriguing and full of fun. I look forward very much to watching this book spread its tendrils far and wide!' Sophie Kirtley, author of The Wild Way Home

'Such a joy! Told with warmth and wit, this is a real page-turner and a hymn to our precious planet.' Abi Elphinstone

'I absolutely adored The Secret Wild. A really original debut. Brilliant characterisation, thoughtful storytelling and a truly engaging and entertaining plot. Friendship, family and the environment are at the heart of this story, I absolutely loved it.'

'Oh my, what a stunning book! I'm utterly in love with Fern, the pluckiest, most brilliant main character ever, and found myself totally lost in her botanical adventure. I'd recommend it to everyone, whatever your age!' author of Fledgling

'A charming and fun adventure, full of bravery and a wonderful botanical and spooky mystery for young readers. For those who need modern triffids, look not further.' BBC

'Featured in The Bookseller's May Previews 2022.' The Bookseller

'I think this book is five stars and is definitely a ten out of ten. I love the way Alex Evelyn (the author) makes it so interesting and hard to put down. Even though it didn’t have any pictures the author made it possible to imagine the plot of the book. I think this is a book for anyone aged 6 years or older and maybe children under that age would enjoy having it read to them.' Books Up North

'Containing clear eco messages about valuing nature and the environment, this heart-warming, action packed mystery and adventure also explores themes of loneliness, life changes, friendship, and courage. […] this is a great read for any budding botanist or emerging environmentalist.' The School Librarian

'Wildly imaginative and imaginatively wild; a blooming marvelous botanical-themed read!' awordaboutbooks
