What to expect

Read by Sophia Nomvete, known for her role as Princess Disa in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

Across the ocean, a magical adventure awaits in The City Beyond the Sea, the spellbinding, beautifully-narrated sequel to Overall Waterstones Children's Book Prize winner and Blackwell's Children's Book of the Year, Greenwild: The World Behind the Door by Pari Thomson, read by Sophia Nomvete.

'Phenomenal . . . If you don’t believe in magic, you will after you’ve read Greenwild' - A. F. Steadman, author of the Skandar series

'A spectacular, sweeping fantasy filled with intrigue - secret cities, magic, and mystery . . . a book bursting with heart and courage' - Rashmi Sirdeshpande

Daisy Thistledown is on a mission. She might have defeated a terrible enemy, but her journey to find her kidnapped mother is just beginning. After smuggling aboard a long-awaited expedition to the heart of the
Amazon, Daisy and her friends soon find themselves in danger on the high seas, pursued across the waves by Grim Reapers. Their only hope: to find the legendary Iffenwild, a mysterious city hidden beyond the sea and lost to time.

But a strange, wild magic is stirring beneath the waves. It will take all of Daisy’s courage and determination – and the trust of a new friend – if she is to discover the truth that haunts Iffenwild, and save the magical world before it’s too late.
