Forever Birchwood

In her captivating middle-grade debut, author and illustrator Danielle Daniel introduces Wolf, an adventurous girl living in a northern mining town with her three best friends. The group cherishes their secret tree-house hideaway, Birchwood, but as Wolf learns about her heritage as the great-granddaughter of a tree talker, tensions arise—especially with her mother, who is skeptical of their Indigenous roots and protective of the environment. With summer challenges looming, including the discovery of concerning changes to their beloved Birchwood, Wolf and her friends must navigate friendship, family, and their commitment to preserving their special place.
