Where the Forest Steals Your Name

After the events of Behind the Door with No Hinges, Pip knows the truth is much bigger than Vale Repairs, much older than the black cabinet, and far more personal than Silas ever wanted him to discover.

A magpie named Piper once lived at the centre of that mystery.
And now a silver forest beyond the school grounds has begun whispering Pip’s name.

Inside the forest, paths move when nobody is looking. Names are carved into bark, then fade. Children can be forgotten by the people who love them most. And somewhere among the roots is Tavi Fen, a boy who carries a bell so others will remember he exists.

Pip enters the forest with Miri, Clara, Nessa and the others searching for answers.

What he finds is worse.

The forest knows about Piper.
It knows about Pip’s missing memories.
It knows why Silas has spent years hiding the truth.

And it offers Pip three names.

Three possible lives.
Three different futures.
One choice that could change everything.
As the forest closes around them, Pip must face the Púca, the ancient Ghillie Dhu, stolen memories, impossible doors and a truth about his own beginning that nobody else has the right to choose for him.

But escaping the forest is only the beginning.

Something ancient is moving beneath the water.

Something has already found a way into Vale Repairs.

And by the final page, Pip will discover that the forest was not the only thing waiting to learn his name.

The forest wanted his name.
The water may want something more.
