Fire Girl, Forest Boy by Chloe Daykin weaves a tale of mystery and adventure amidst the vibrant backdrop of the jungle.

Maya has to escape. She’s on the run in a country she doesn’t know and has no idea who to trust.

Raul is escaping too—travelling back to his home where a terrible tragedy happened, ready to stir up trouble.

When their paths collide in the middle of the jungle, the sparks begin to fly. As modern world corruption meets the magic and legends of ancient times, can Maya draw on her hidden light to find the way through to the truth?

This is a book about light, about magic and belief, and about unlocking your own potential, from the critically acclaimed author of Fish Boy and The Boy Who Hit Play.
