Toby and the Secrets of the Tree
By Timothee de Fombelle
Illustrated by Francois Place
The second and final part of the thrilling adventure of heroism and friendship in an unforgettable miniature world.
Toby’s world is under greater threat than ever before. Leo Blue, once Toby’s best friend, now his worst enemy, is holding Elisha prisoner, hunting the Grass People with merciless force, capturing all who stand in his way, inflicting a life of poverty and fear. But returning after several years among the Grass People, Toby will fight back. And this time he’s not alone.
- Toby Alone was the winner of numerous awards including France’s prestigious Prix Sorcières and, in translation, Italy’s Premio Andersen prize.
