Since Ma died, Orla has lived alone in a woodshed by the river. Her garden provides everything she needs. But when people begin to fall sick, Governor Atlas decrees that the plants are the cause and must be destroyed. Armed only with her mother's book of remedies Orla sets out on a barge-boat to discover the truth and save her garden ...



Set in a world where plants talk, friendship is hard-won and adventure is around the bend of every river ... 'Townsend has crafted an uncannily rich and tactile atmosphere, grounding the reader in the setting so successfully that I could almost feel the river mist settling in my hair.'

Wild and imaginative storytelling, it introduces us to talking oaks, poisonous rock and a central character with a lot to prove.'
