"Enchanting, joyful, full of light and warmth, and glittering with real-world magic." - Sophie Anderson

From the New York Times bestselling author Cornelia Funke, known for the INKHEART series, comes this new adventure book.

Enter the story of Caspia, who sets out to solve a series of riddles, and as she does, she meets friends she could have never imagined.

Anywhere can feel like home if you are brave enough to put down new roots...

Caspia's summer is transformed when she discovers a bundle of letters containing ten botanical riddles in this enchanting adventure.

Twelve-year-old Caspia hates big cities, especially one as busy as New York. So she isn't thrilled by the news that her parents are taking her to stay in Brooklyn. But everything changes when Caspia discovers a bundle of letters, hidden in an old dresser. Each letter contains a 'green' riddle, with clues leading to a different plant.

The newest adventure from the award-winning author of Inkheart and Dragon Rider, Cornelia Funke weaves magic into every sentence of this new and exciting mystery set in the heart of New York City. The Green Kingdom is perfect for fans of the Greenwild series.

Three things you'll find in this book:
  • Solving riddles
  • Mystery
  • New friendships
