Willow Bright’s Secret Plot

‘I feel her in the breeze that makes the dahlias bob, and in the scent of the roses ...’

After moving to the city from the country, Willow Bright feels like she’s lost her mum all over again—and landed on another planet. Her clothes are wrong, her taste in music is wrong, and even the food she eats is wrong.

But when Willow spots a pattern in a series of puzzling accidents and mishaps, she forms an unlikely friendship—and finds new purpose. Can Willow solve the mystery and find room to be herself along the way? Or will her plot to run home to the wide-open spaces and memories of her mum land Willow in even more trouble?

Willow Bright’s Secret Plot is a middle-grade story about growing up, grief, finding your place in the world and the restorative benefits of nature.
