Rediscover the multi-million copy best-selling fantasy series perfect for 9+ fans of Impossible Creatures, reissued with new cover art and character sketches by fan-favourite CHRIS RIDDELL.

‘At turns gorgeous, humorous, horrifying and awe-inspiring.’ — Fantasy Book Review

Raised in the perilous Deepwoods by a family of woodtrolls, Twig has always felt a little different.

Then, one cold night, he does what no woodtroll has ever done before – he strays from the path. Into the strange and dangerous Deepwoods.

So begins a heart-stopping adventure filled with incredible creatures and unforgettable characters, brought to life by extraordinary illustrations throughout. Befriend banderbears and slaughterers, dodge halitoads, hover-worms, bloodoaks and rotsuckers, and join Twig on a journey like no other, as he discovers the truth about his past, and the world beyond the Deepwoods.
