It's a bit scary. They said in Wykhurst there's no pets allowed but the cat that she saw from Kew Gardens came with her.

I liked Greenwild because it had imagination and nature in it. It was one of the first books I read that was 390 pages long!

I LOVE this book so much! It is perfect for people who love mystery, fantasy, magic, suspense and adventure. My favourite part is when Daisy enters Greenwild for the first time. My favourite character is, of course, Daisy! Daisy is so kind and adventure and clever. She is so brave and adventurous and she never ever gives up. It is so interesting to know that Daisy's friend, Hanad, is actually her father at a young age. I would recommend this book to the world if I could, but I will definitely recommend it to my friends.

I would recommend this book for any reader who absolutely loves adventure. It is surprising and has some interesting turn of events. Cliff hangers and the need to read the next chapter happens often. You are never forced to read the next chapter though... IT'S JUST SO AMAZING YOU MUST JUST ALWAYS DO IT! This story is about a young girl called Daisy. She loves her dear mother though sadly her father died when she was three. So when her mother goes missing in the Amazon due to chasing a puzzling story, Daisy is determined to find her. She must escape challenges, find a hidden world and save her mum. Who will get in her way? Is she able to make friends? Are there secrets that have been hidden? Is she special? Can she do it? What kind of story will this turn out to be? READ IT TO FIND OUT!!!

Loved all of the drama and the past of the Greenwild! My favourite character was The Prof and my favourite bit was the end because there was a really good cliffhanger. I can't wait for the next book!
