Costa Award-winning Frances Hardinge's gripping story of a young girl's daring mission through a natural world intent on her destruction. With stunning two-colour illustrations by superstar illustrator Emily Gravett on every page, The Forest of a Thousand Eyes is richly atmospheric: perfect for fans of David Almond and Kiran Millwood Hargrave. The hungry Forest is moving forward like an army, a green and constant threat to the humans living in and on an increasingly crumbling Wall. Feather, accompanied only by her scaled ferret, Sleek, must avoid the Forest's tentacles, and the many dangerous creatures it shelters, to return the community's precious spyglass to its rightful place. Along the way, she develops her resilience, and meets other people living on the Wall, whose stories and experiences open her mind, and those of her community, to new horizons. From the creators of Island of Whispers, chosen as one of the Top Five YA books of 2023 by The Guardian. A compelling story filled with adventure, emotional intensity and the rawness of nature.

Biography/History:
Frances Hardinge spent a large part of her childhood in a huge old house that inspired her to write strange stories from an early age. She read English at Oxford University, then got a job at a software company. However, a few years later a persistent friend finally managed to bully Frances into sending a few chapters of Fly By Night, her first children's novel, to a publisher. Macmillan made her an immediate offer. The book went on to publish to huge critical acclaim and win the Branford Boase First Novel Award. She has since written many highly acclaimed children's novels including, Fly By Night's sequel, Twilight Robbery, as well as the Carnegie shortlisted Cuckoo Song and the Costa Book of the Year winner, The Lie Tree.
