When Philomella is drawn into the Impossible Forest - a place where anything can happen and usually does - she's headed for all the adventure she never wanted. There's a belligerent princess to rescue, trolls to battle and a treacherously bewitching river to cross ... and that's just for starters. They're all part of a mysterious enemy's grand plan to destroy both the Forest and Philomella - and in this world of strange and dangerous magic, she'll have to beat her deadly opponent using only her brains. And so, joined by some oddball companions (including a picnic basket with attitude, a boy whose ancestors were trees and a grandmother with weaponised kitchenware), Philomella sets out to do the impossible. Can Philomella save the Forest? And can she also learn how to save herself?
Ages 9 + Hardie Grant.
