The series
At a glance.
Three middle-grade fantasy novels (The World Behind the Door, 2024; The City Beyond the Sea, 2024; The Forest in the Sky, 2026), illustrated throughout by Elisa Paganelli. Daisy Thistledown finds her way through a hidden door into the Greenwild, a magical world tied to the health of the natural one, and is drawn into the fight to keep it (and the everyday world) from collapsing. The ecological theme is foregrounded; the writing is dense and atmospheric; the protagonist circle widens over the trilogy.
Best for 9–12s who like atmospheric, ideas-led MG fantasy and a strong eco-thread.

Daisy and the Greenwild
A three-book arc taking Daisy from her first crossing through to a climactic stand for the Greenwild.
Self-contained trilogy. Book one is the entry-into-the-magical-world setup; book two opens out the wider geography of the Greenwild and the threat to it; book three resolves the central conflict. The ecological theme runs through all three.
