The Last Tree: A Seed of Hope

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Together. The rustling got louder. Olive looked under the bench - nothing. The sound was actually coming from the leaves in the painting in front of her... Imagine a world without trees. A world that is in many ways like our world, but where magnificent canopies, tree climbing and leaves rustling in the breeze are something only the elderly Tree Generation remembers. Until a young girl comes along, a girl who is brave and spirited and willing to follow where her imagination takes her. Climbing accidentally into a parallel world, where nature sti ll exists in its purest form, Olive experiences the wonders that her own world has lost. From the bestselling author of Together, The Last Tree is a powerful evocation of the fragility of our natural world and a magnificent celebration of its beauty. Ultimately this is a wonderful story of hope and new beginnings. Praise for Together: "An accurate and thoughtful account of one of the most challenging years in modern history." -The Guardian "Hawker's images always seem to have just the right mixture of gravitas and sly, understated humour." -The Scotsman
