“Wildly inventive. Like this novel, Lucy is brave, smart, and destined for greatness.”—Holly Goldberg Sloan, New York Times bestselling author of Counting by 7s

Lucy Darrington has to run away from boarding school.  Her father has been away too long doing research in Saarthe, a remote territory populated by towering redwoods, timber barons, and the Lupine people. Upon arriving there, she learns her father is missing. Rumor has it he’s gone in search of dreamwood, a rare tree species with magical properties that could hold the cure for the blight that’s ravaging the forest.  Determined to find her father, Lucy and her friend Pete follow his trail to the deadly woods on Devil’s Thumb.
