A city in danger. A balance disrupted. Greed that threatens to destroy everything that is good in the world. Two young children thrust into the center of the disruption. A world that is similar; yet oh so unlike from ours. 

Wild Folk is the book that I wish I had read in my childhood – a book that makes me wish I had enjoyed the little magic more than I actually did! Beautifully written, magically realistic, this is a book that transported me back to my childhood self, a time I would have immensely enjoyed my foray into this folklore.  

I rarely read middle grade books; but it's been my brilliant luck that most of the Middle grade books that I have read have been quite brilliant and some have also been put on my list of books to pass on to my prodigy - a list that Wild Folk has definitely found a place in!

This is book 1, and I can’t wait to join the curious Comfrey; considerate Tin; the spirited Myrtle and the wonderfully rich world that has been created in Wild Folk!
