Every day has a moment of wonder in it that most people pass right by. Deep in the woods, surrounded by a wall of thorns, is a grove of larch trees called Girlwood. Few know how to find it: Only Baba, an old, eccentric grandmother, who understands the power hidden within wild plants. And Bree, a reckless teenager, who runs away from home one dark autumn night. And Polly, the younger sister, whom Baba loves and Bree leaves. Polly, who can see the light and colors of all living things. Girlwood. A place where fairies live and wolves prowl. A place where Polly and her friends build their own shelter and control their own fire. But can Polly and the girls of Girlwood save Polly's sister, Bree? Can they save the grove from developers? Can they save the magic within themselves? In Girlwood, anything is possible.
