About this book

Twig has always felt a little bit different to the rest of his family and friends.  He has been warned about the Deepwoods and knows all about not straying from the path.  Little did he know, though, that his first journey into the Deepwoods would not only take him off the path but also take him to places he had never imagined and where he would meet creatures he had only heard stories about.

As his terrifying adventure unfolds he begins to realise what he really wants.  Will he be able to find it though when everyone he meets seems to be a new threat.

A story full of imagination, adventure and suspense with beautiful illustrations of the unusual characters Twig meets on his adventure.
