I’ve tried to write this post a hundred times but I can’t put it into words.
Somehow #Greenwild actually went and won the @Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 2024.
Thank you, booksellers. This win is the honour of my life 💚🌿

And our overall winner is... Greenwild by @PariThomson! A debut that enchanted our booksellers with its sweeping escapism; a timeless fantasy tale of friendship, mystery, and the magic and beauty in nature (illustration by @elisaupsidedown): https://t.co/ET2fwmEF1n #WCBP24
Daisy and her friends head to the Amazon rainforest to rescue the botanists in the third enchanting instalment in @PariThomson's mesmerising eco-fantasy series and our former Waterstones Children's Book Prize winner!

@ShameyLyons@Waterstones This is so lovely! Thank you so much for the wonderful letter, it made my day. I'm so happy Maeve enjoyed Greenwild💚🌿I'm not sure I'm allowed to give permission for anyone to read the whole book online - I think you'd have to ask my publisher. But I'm so honoured. Thank you🙏💚
At this time of year the mice of Brambly Hedge visit the Store Stump to gather ingredients that have been smoked, pickled, and preserved from last year’s harvest.
This summer join Daisy and Max in the Amazon rainforest as they fight to save green magic in @PariThomson's epic finale Greenwild: The Forest in the Sky! With stunning illustration by @elisaupsidedown!

So last year went against the grain and posted my favourite reads of the previous year in Feb rather than end of Dec. And it continues. Some brilliant reads of 2024 and hopefully something in there you haven’t read yet. @_Reading_Rocks_ . https://t.co/qVySw2yPXk
Second half of my Greenwild double whammy! The City Beyond the Sea by @PariThomson an epic triumphant return to this amazing world and this time with a nautical theme- this is a must read series for magical mystery fans. @_Reading_Rocks_@MacmillanKidsUK https://t.co/BBZoPSFexv
First half of my Greenwild double whammy! By @PariThomson an absolute triumph of a magical mystery! Action packed, clever and a spellbinding interweaving plot! Easily one of my reads of last year! @_Reading_Rocks_@MacmillanKidsUK https://t.co/M6b4X0HJgf
