The Whispering Woods

When Emma Hart follows a strange silver light into the forbidden woods, she discovers a glowing footprint, a sarcastic talking fox, and a tiny fairy tangled in her hair. Beyond the roots of an ancient oak lies Wildroot Forest, a hidden magical realm whose light is slowly fading — its crystal leaves turning gray as a mysterious force called the Hollow One steals the forest’s song. Chosen by a forest she barely understands, Emma joins Finn, Thistle and Orion on a journey through enchanted paths and forgotten places, where one small act of courage might save everything. Book 1 of the Guardians of the Wildroot Forest series, for readers ages 9–12.
