Daisy Thistledown has recently escaped from boarding school, and has a mystery to solve. The trail will lead her through a hidden doorway to the Greenwild, a rich and verdant land bursting with magic. There, Daisy finds herself confronting a dangerous presence that threatens green magic on both sides of the door. Daisy must band together with a botanical prodigy, a boy who can talk to animals, and a cat with an attitude, to channel the power that can save the Greenwild - and her own world too.

With the support of the Iffenwilders and their mighty water magic, Daisy and her friends are finally setting off to rescue the Botanists held prisoner in the heart of the Amazon rainforest - including Daisy's Ma. But when an unexpected attack sends the rescue mission spinning off course, Daisy and Max are separated, and Max shipwrecked on an impossible shore with no way of escape. Even Daisy's arrival in Amazeria - the stunning Amazonian pocket of the Greenwild, teeming with green magic - is in jeopardy as the mysterious Great Reaper draws ever closer.

Daisy Thistledown and the Five O'Clock Club have defeated a terrifying foe, but their journey to find the missing Botanists is only just beginning. Smuggling on board the long-awaited expedition to the heart of the Amazon, Daisy and her friends find themselves in danger on the high seas, pursued across the waves by Grim Reapers. Their only hope: to find the legendary Iffenwild, a mysterious magical pocket lost to time. But beneath the waves of Iffenwild, a strange botanical magic stirs.
