From celebrated children's author Cerrie Burnell comes a new, wonderfully inclusive, magical tale set in the whimsical world of Wilder than Midnight. Long ago, on a winter's eve, two sisters walked into a wolf-wild wood but only one returned. . . The Faraway Wood is full of twisting thorns and sharp teeth. Stirring with myth and music. It's the perfect place for bandits, thieves and secrets to hide. Until a prince goes missing. Lilac is a strong girl, happy with her found family, yet searching for her sister. Clover is a determined girl, eager to find what's been lost to her, though scared to leave her village. Hester is a smart girl, one step ahead of trouble, and ready for adventure. Together, they will unite the realm. Praise for Wilder than Midnight: 'Guaranteed to bring beauty, magic and joy into the hearts of all who read it' - Sophie Anderson, author of The House with Chicken Legs 'Pure fairytale magic with so many twists' - Jasbinder Bilan, author of Asha and the Spirit Bird '[a] book about love and friendship and driving your own destiny in the face of prejudice. But mostly, it's a story of girls, glorious girls, in all their feisty, feminine brilliance' - Nizrana Farook, author of The Girl Who Stole an Elephant
