Synopsis
Across the ocean, a magical adventure awaits in The City Beyond the Sea, the spellbinding, beautifully-illustrated sequel to Overall Waterstones Children's Book Prize winner and Blackwell's Children's Book of the Year, Greenwild: The World Behind the Door by Pari Thomson.
Daisy Thistledown is on a mission. She might have defeated a terrible enemy, but her journey to find her kidnapped mother is just beginning. After smuggling aboard a long-awaited expedition to the heart of the
Amazon, Daisy and her friends soon find themselves in danger on the high seas, pursued across the waves by Grim Reapers. Their only hope: to find the legendary Iffenwild, a mysterious city hidden beyond the sea and lost to time.
But a strange, wild magic is stirring beneath the waves. It will take all of Daisy’s courage and determination – and the trust of a new friend – if she is to discover the truth that haunts Iffenwild, and save the magical world before it’s too late.
