Wonderfully uplifting and hopeful
Katherine Woodfine, bestselling author of The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow
Pure joy. A heartswellingly gorgeous read about the power of hope, dreams, love and friendship. With shades of <i>James and the Giant Peach</i>, but entirely its own original tale, <i>Seed</i> is an absolute gem.

A real page-turner and so charming with vital messages about being kind

A funny and tender story that deals with the power of imagination and the importance of believing anything is possible.

Marty’s grandad gifts him with a very special seed that spells adventure in Lewis’ heart-warming, rip-roaring story about big dreams, hope and the power of imagination.

I loved this… the wonderfully crazy and ridiculous main story is worked around with messages about hope, ambitions, self-fulfilment and love.
