The Whispering Trees

“They call me a witch, Liv, and maybe I am, in a manner of speaking.”

Olivia doesn’t believe in magic. No sensible person does. So why, when the family moves to Devon after her dad’s accident, does the hill speak to her?

The hill’s guardian, Annie Tilke, can’t, or won’t, explain.

At school, sparky Sadie takes Olivia under her wing, but what about smouldering Robert Enticott and devoted but hopeless Wadsy? Are they friend or foe?

Olivia’s dad is not getting better and her mum wants to move back to the city. But for Olivia, telling her parents she wants to stay in Devon to become a vet is the least of her worries. Old Annie’s tormentors are becoming more menacing, the natural world is in trouble, and the mysterious voice on the hill has an urgent message that only Olivia can interpret.
