Set in a world where plants talk, friendship is hard-won
and adventure is around the bend of every river …

‘A very special story’ JULIA GREEN

Orla has lived on her own since Ma died, with only her beloved
garden for company. When sickness comes and nature is blamed, Orla
knows she must find a cure.

Armed with her mother’s book of plants and remedies, she steals
away on a river boat with two other stowaways, Idris and Ariana.

Soon the trio must navigate the rapids of the Inkwater to a poisonous
place from which they may never return …

Fast-paced, thrilling storytelling, packed full of rustic
adventure and peril

A wild rapids-ride of a story, suffused at every turn
with authentic details of the natural world
