"Rachel Chivers Khoo is Ireland's answer to Enid Blyton." Children's Books Ireland
"Beautifully written and utterly entrancing. This is a gem of a book." Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear
Meet the Finders, the enchanting collectors of lost items...
The Borrowers meets The Magic Faraway Tree in this beautifully illustrated animal adventure, sequel to Finders of Silverthorn Forest: The Lost Treasures.
When Tuft, a young Finder of Silverthorn Forest, wakes early from hibernation, he decides to set out on an adventure to find the legendary Faraway Forest. After an unexpected trip to London via a postbox, Tuft is reunited with his human friend Max, and secretly signs him up for an adventure camp in the New Forest. Tuft is convinced that they'll uncover the homeland of the Finders here, but Max is sceptical. The camp is the last place he wants to be spending his school holiday, especially as he doesn't have any of the right equipment and it won't stop raining.
But with a severe storm approaching, things soon turn perilous, and Max must use all of his newfound skills if he's to save Tuft and the new Finders they have befriended.
- A classic children's adventure, for fans of Enid Blyton, E. Nesbit and Jill Murphy, as well as Andy Shepherd's The Boy Who Grew Dragons and Liz Flanagan's Wildsmith series.
- Illustrated in black and white throughout, this magical chapter book is great for building confidence in independent readers, and also makes a perfect cosy bedtime story for the whole family to enjoy.
- With themes of friendship, courage, trust and resilience, as well as the importance of caring for our wild spaces.
