On the top of the hill, overlooking the sea, that's where you'll find a magical place . . . To Bea and Raffy, Ravenwood is home. In its own way, the house rescued them, even if it did have a fallen-down tree taking up most of the kitchen. So the idea that it could be sold. Demolished even. Well, that's unthinkable. Then again, it's not like the children get a choice. But the truth is, we can all make our own choices, especially if we care enough . . . A beautiful, soulful, exciting story about holding onto what's precious, and guarding the extraordinary nature that surrounds us.

Olivia hat eine besondere Freundin: die Eiche. Ihr kann sie all ihre Wünsche und Sorgen anvertrauen. Als ihr Vater beschließt, den alten Baum zu fällen, um ein Sommerhaus zu errichten, bleibt Olivia nicht viel Zeit: Sie verspricht ihrer Freundin und allen anderen Bäumen, sie zu retten, und begibt sich mit ihnen auf eine magische Reise zu fernen Kontinenten, blühenden persischen Gärten und sogar hinab in die tiefen Unterwasserwälder, wo sich Meermenschen verstecken.

Trees are storykeepers, witnesses to magic and history. From far away, a girl tumbles like a leaf into our world. She makes a promise, discovers the secrets of an ancient oak and rescues a boy from a medieval hunt. She learns how wild apple blossom is linked to three runaway brides, and hears about the revenge of an overclipped box tree. From the underground roots to the uppermost branches, from plane trees in Persia, to tulip trees in North America and underwater kelp forests, she listens to the trees telling stories for all time. And she keeps her promise.

Lotti’s horrible aunt and uncle want to send her away from her beloved home to boarding school - just when she has so successfully managed to get expelled from her last one.

When Alice Mistlethwaite is shipped off to boarding school in Scotland, it's nothing like she imagines.

Then Alice's dad goes missing, and she must run away to find him. Can she persuade her new friends to help? So begins an epic quest across wild Scottish highlands and islands, where the children will face danger and excitement at every turn.
