Briarwood
Autor Natalie Hydeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2026 – vârsta până la 12 ani
- Inspired by an article about a scientific discovery regarding nanoparticles that cause water to boil within 20 seconds, in Briarwood, Natalie Hyde imagines an environmentally-friendly steam technology and all the amazing inventions that could use it.
- Briarwood balances sharp, laugh-out-loud dialogue and a suspenseful plot with important issues of family, immigration, environmentalism, and friendship.
- Natalie’s works have been nominated for many awards including the Silver Birch and Silver Birch Express Award, the Red Cedar Book Award, the Rocky Mountain Book Award, the Hackmatack Award, the Nutmeg Book Award, and the IODE Violet Downey Book. Her books have also been included in Resource Links’ Best Books of the Year and OLA Best Bets.
- Briarwood blends steampunk and nature elements, featuring inventions such as treehouses camouflaged into the forest, a metal moving bridge to travel between trees, and walking stick bugs that are secretly recording devices.

Recenzii
“The camp setting is vividly imagined and bursts with energy. The prose is clear and brisk, making even complex concepts accessible, while the plot balances the thrill of discovery with reflections on belonging and confidence. ... Readers will find themselves wanting to revisit Briarwood.”
“An inventive, immersive celebration of curiosity, courage, and learning.”
“Readers will revel in the fun and fantastical camp where campers live in the treetops, and everything from message delivery to the aerial walkway system is mechanized through a special kind of steam power. Hyde’s characters are delightful and often humorous. … While many readers will enjoy the fun and mystery, some might find their curiosity piqued as well. Who was Nicola Tesla? And what kinds of renewable power sources are scientists working on today?”
“Hyde sets her magical story in an engineering marvel of connecting treehouses, with contraptions and inventions that invoke Dhonielle Clayton’s Arcanum Training Institute. The cast of characters’ elusive intentions propel the reader through a seemingly unsolvable mystery at a breakneck pace, and the blend of science and intrigue makes this an inviting STEM pick.”
“A wise and catchy YA novel about the power of determination + using your brain. … Meet Callie Garcia, the protagonist of the fun, snappily written young-adult novel Briarwood. Putting one’s mind to positive, productive solutions is author Natalie Hyde’s theme.”
“Natalie Hyde has created a weird and wonderful place of creativity and engineering, a camp where ingenuity is encouraged, and young people are challenged to see marvels in the mechanisms within. … Camp Briarwood is a marvel that would captivate any young person with imagination and a sense of discovery.”
“Elements of corporate espionage, mystery and a missing mentor, this middle school novel is a delightful read for any child, but especially for those interested in the natural world and the current and future science and invention aimed at its protection.”
