There's nothing good about staying with Nell, except for the beautiful Darkling Wood at the end of her garden - but Nell wants to have it cut down.

Alice feels at home there, at peace, and even finds a friend, Flo.

When Flo shows Alice the surprising secrets of Darkling Wood, Alice starts to wonder, what is real? And can she find out in time to save the wood from destruction?'Absorbing, sensitive and genuinely magical.'Independent
