A mysterious hedge. A terrified voice calling in the night. A friendship that opens the door to another world.
Robert Marsh just wants a quiet summer-no nightmares, no arguing parents, and absolutely no ghostly voices calling his name. But when a strange boy named Joe steps out of the backyard hedges, Robert's world shifts in a way he never imagined.
Joe's family isn't just unusual-they're protectors of ancient secrets. And the hedges behind Robert's house aren't just plants-they're a portal to a place where magic, danger, and forgotten history intertwine.
When Robert finally steps through The Hedges, he is pulled into an adventure filled with mythical creatures, ancient guardians, and a prophecy older than human memory. The fate of many worlds begins to rest on the choices of a boy who never believed he could matter.
Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, The Chronicles of Narnia, Fable Haven, and The Spiderwick Chronicles, Hedges is a fast-paced, heartfelt middle-grade fantasy about courage, friendship, and discovering your place in a world much bigger than you imagined.
Some doors are meant to stay hidden.
Some are waiting to be opened.
And The Hedges... are calling.
