Recenzii
Cornelia Funke’s The Green Kingdom (DK, £7.99, 10+), written in collaboration with celebrated ethnobotanical writer Tammi Hartung, is set in present-day Brooklyn. There are no big environmental messages here, but this heartwarming story about 12-year-old Caspia, uprooted from small-town Maine to the big city, is enriched by a historical mystery that transforms the urban landscape into a vast garden for exploring: “an enchanted forest made of bricks and eccentric people.” The plot is anchored by the discovery of a set of old letters and structured by 10 riddles which see Caspia start to put down roots despite her homesickness, as she makes new friends from all generations and ethnicities. The Green Kingdom showcases the masterful storytelling of the German author, with Hartung’s nuggets of botanical detail adding subtle layers of learning to this page-turning book.
