Henry Northwood

Lily feels invisible. Her Mum is always busy with baby brother Freddie. Her Dad is always working late. And at school, life gets even harder than before. Lily feels lonely, and the hurt of that is so overwhelming that she starts to believe that no one truly sees her anymore. One afternoon, it all becomes too much, and she runs off to the forest beyond the grass field beside their modest family farm. With Max, her loyal dog, who can understand pretty much everything, Lily catches sight of a shadowy figure and dares to go deeper into the forest than ever before.
At first glance, the deep forest looks like nothing more than an ordinary forest, but through Lily's eyes it is a place filled with ancient mystery, old memories, and colourful magic. What follows is a moving journey of courage, healing, and hope - hope that helps Lily discover her own strength and who she really is. Perfect for ages 6-10, Lily and the Forest That Remembers is a magical and emotionally rich chapter book for readers who love wild adventures, family warmth, and a fantasy world that feels just a little too real.
