Longlisted for the Times/Chicken House Children's Fiction Competition
A thrilling eco-magical adventure filled with ancient nature magic and heartfelt environmental mystery-perfect for fans of Hannah Gold and Sophie Kirtley.
Twelve-year-old Belle has always been torn between her mum's faith in science and her Nana Willow's deep bond with the land. But when Whisper Valley's lake begins to die and the dragonflies-once gentle guardians-turn violent, Belle is thrust into a mystery that could destroy her home.
A charismatic scientist promises a cure. A sacred healing ritual is sabotaged. And something beneath the earth is poisoning everything Belle loves.
To save the valley, Belle must brave a blizzard, track an injured kite, and journey underground-guided only by a walking stick that grows with her and a friendship tested by fear. In the final battle between control and connection, Belle must choose which truth to trust... before the land's magic disappears forever.
The Lost Dragonflies is a heartfelt, page-turning adventure about family, courage, and the living magic of the natural world.
