This will most likely be a hard sell to children, but that said, I enjoyed it. It was atmospheric and conveyed such a sense of awe for the natural world: what is seen and what is unseen.
The story revolves around The Green Man, a legendary character from British folklore, who has made it into adult and YA fantasy, but not so for children's fiction. ( )
