Under an ancient willow tree lies The Holt, the place where the otters of Green River live. Sedge the otter is the Queen’s son, he doesn’t care much for his royal duties & responsibilities. He’s always been suspicious that the rest of the otters at The Holt are keeping something from him…

Downstream, Silken lives in The Stronghold with her beaver family. She’s always felt out of place, like she doesn’t belong. She’s the only beaver who can sing & she can’t gnaw through wood like the others…

Both Sedge & Silken find themselves leaving home to find out the truth and set off on separate journeys into the river. But trouble is brewing. The river is rising and The Holt, along with many other animal homes, is at risk of flooding. Will Sedge & Silken find out the truth in time to save Green River?

The Story Of Green River was such a wholesome read. Such a great book for children to explore river ecosystems and the animals that live there. Highlights how important our rivers are for the survival of beavers, otters and other river dwellers like kingfishers, water voles and swans, whilst also shining a light on how vital these animals are for the health of our rivers.
