Meet the Finders, the magical collectors of lost items...
The Borrowers meets The Magic Faraway Tree in this enchanting illustrated adventure that will spark children's imagination.
"We Finders have what we call the Golden Rule: Finders Keepers."
While hunting for an old time capsule that his grandma once buried in the woods, Max never expects to discover the home of a small magical creature. Nor does he expect that magical creature to have an extensive collection of lost items, all catalogued and labelled. Yet this is how he meets Tuftorious Snook, collector of lost objects, and just one of the many Finders living in Silverthorn Forest.
Thrilled by his discovery, Max can't wait to find out more about the Finders. But when he accidentally breaks their most important rule - never steal - he's banished from their home. With Silverthorn Forest in danger, however, Max must somehow find a way to save Tuft and the other Finders before it's too late.

- Illustrated in black and white throughout, this magical chapter book is great for building confidence in independent readers, and also makes a perfect cosy bedtime story for the whole family to enjoy.
- A truly heartwarming story, with themes of friendship, courage, trust and resilience, as well as the importance of caring for our wild spaces.
