Meet the Finders, the enchanting collectors of lost items...
The Borrowers meets The Magic Faraway Tree in this beautifully illustrated animal adventure, sequel to Finders of Silverthorn Forest: The Lost Treasures.
When Tuft, a young Finder of Silverthorn Forest, wakes early from hibernation, he decides to set out on an adventure to find the legendary Faraway Forest. After an unexpected trip to London via a postbox, Tuft is reunited with his human friend Max, and secretly signs him up for an adventure camp in the New Forest. Tuft is convinced that they'll uncover the homeland of the Finders here, but Max is sceptical. The camp is the last place he wants to be spending his school holiday, especially as he doesn't have any of the right equipment and it won't stop raining.
But with a severe storm approaching, things soon turn perilous, and Max must use all of his newfound skills if he's to save Tuft and the new Finders they have befriended.
- A classic children's adventure, for fans of Enid Blyton, E. Nesbit and Jill Murphy, as well as Andy Shepherd's The Boy Who Grew Dragons and Liz Flanagan's Wildsmith series.
- Illustrated in black and white throughout, this magical chapter book is great for building confidence in independent readers, and also makes a perfect cosy bedtime story for the whole family to enjoy.
- With themes of friendship, courage, trust and resilience, as well as the importance of caring for our wild spaces.

Laura Catalán’s illustrations are a confidence-boosting boon for reluctant readers in this charming and satisfying series for 7+ year olds. * School Reading List *
This is a wonderfully heart-warming, magical and exciting adventure with just the right amount of danger for younger readers. I loved how genuine and strong the friendship felt between Max and Tuft, including the disagreements and support for each other with discussions over a cup of tea! * Book Craic *
Perfect as a bedtime or class read for those in Years 2 or 3, or as a solo read for newly confident readers in lower KS2 and even through into Years 5 and 6, this is a book that I adored and recommend very highly and would work very well as a standalone. * Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library *
