The shape of this universe.
Greenwild is Pari Thomson's middle-grade fantasy trilogy, illustrated by Elisa Paganelli. Daisy Thistledown discovers the Greenwild, a hidden world rooted in (and threatened by) climate-change-era ecological collapse, with secret botanical magic accessed through doors hidden in plain sight. The trilogy spans London, the sea and the canopy of an enormous sky-forest. Pitched at the upper-MG fantasy crowd, closer in feel to Katherine Rundell or Frances Hardinge than to Skandar, with an ecological undertow and strong, slightly earnest worldbuilding. Three books published 2024–2026.
An MG fantasy trilogy about a hidden botanical world threatened by ecological collapse, for thoughtful 9–12s.
