Caspia‘s summer is transformed when she discovers a bundle of letters containing ten plant-based riddles in this enchanting adventure.

When Caspia learns that her family are moving to Brooklyn for the whole summer, she can’t believe her bad luck. No sleepovers with Ellie and Larissa? No trips to the mall? Just tall, glassy buildings and “city people” – it’s the worst news ever.

But when she discovers a bundle of dusty letters on her first evening, everything changes. Each letter contains a riddle about a plant – a citizen of a mysterious world called the Green Kingdom. On a quest to discover the secrets hidden in the clues, Caspia walks the concrete streets of New York, making friends in unexpected places and finds that happiness can be found anywhere if we are just brave enough to put down new roots.

The newest adventure from renowned and award winning author of Inkheart and Dragon Rider, Cornelia Funke weaves magic into every sentence of this new and exciting mystery set in the heart of New York City.

Author of the New York Times bestselling INKHEART series, Cornelia Funke has been published in 53 languages and her books have sold well over 22 million copies worldwide. She is often referred to as the "German J. K. Rowling" and was chosen by Time as one of the 100 most influential people in the world in their 2005 list.

Cornelia lives with her two dogs in Tuscany, Italy, where she regularly hosts artists from around the world. Her old olive farm provides a retreat for creatives to be inspired and to collaborate in ever surprising and amazing ways.
