11-year old Daisy Thistledown has spent her life traveling around the world with her investigative journalist mother. When her mother disappears while reporting on environmental politics in the Amazon rainforest, Daisy is suddenly alone and on the run. Fleeing from her pursuers, she finds herself stepping out of London and into the Greenwild, a hidden world bursting with botanical magic. Daisy must learn how she fits in this new world and who she can trust, all while unraveling the mystery of her own family story. Together with her new friends, Daisy embarks on a journey to find her mother and the other missing botanists, all while protecting the Greenwild from the evil powers that are bent on destroying it.
