This is aimed at a younger audience – Year 6 perhaps. It is an attractive read with no magic or fantasy. Rather we have a treasure hunt – or rather riddles that send the young protagonist, Caspia, on a search for different plants – the Green Kingdom of the title. Using these riddles the author introduces the reader to fact, folklore, mythology, the language of flowers, medicinal properties. An attractive read.
