      Spoilt rich kid Mia's world is turned upside-down when she is orphaned and whisked away to Mis Tor Manor on the edge of Dartmoor to live with her uncle and cousin Christopher. Mia is appalled to find herself in the remote countryside, in a freezing, crumbling manor. Grieving and missing her old life, she takes an instant dislike to Christopher, who never leaves his bedroom due to illness. Yet little by little, Mia starts to discover the beauty of this wintry world, and befriends local boy Daniel, who loves animals and teaches her how to ride a Dartmoor pony. One day she discovers a hidden door, covered in brambles and ivy, which leads to a walled garden ... A special, secret place which needs someone's care to bring it to life once again so nature can flourish. Cover art by Rachael Dean.

      A passionate and gripping book about the importance of standing up for what we believe in, not making judgments about others, allowing each other to learn and grow, and the power of friendship. Zaynab is from Somaliland, a country that is on the brink of disappearing due to political strife. Lucas hails from rural Devon, seemingly worlds apart. When they meet, they discover a shared commitment to addressing the climate crisis. Together, they work to establish a Fridays For Future group at their school, advocating for their right to protest and effect real change in their community. However, when Zaynab uncovers a plot that threatens to devastate the environment and lives in Somaliland, she is determined to expose it. Lucas faces a critical choice: to stand by her side or to turn away, even as Zaynab's actions become increasingly perilous.
