What you need to know before your trail

Toby Lolness is just one and a half millimetres tall, and he’s the most wanted person in his world, the Great Oak Tree.

When Toby’s father makes a ground-breaking discovery, tapping into the very heart of the Tree’s energy, he also realizes that exploiting it could permanently damage their world. Refusing to reveal the secret of his invention to an enraged community, the family is exiled. But one man is determined to get hold of the forbidden knowledge … and his plan is to destroy the Tree. Now Toby’s parents have been imprisoned and sentenced to death. Only Toby has managed to escape, but for how long?

Travel Guide

The forests of the world

We’ve put the trail in the Amazon as this is the world’s largest tropical rainforest, famed for its biodiversity. It’s also under threat with deforestation and climate change – in fact this forest is known as the world’s lungs – if this disappears, then the world cannot breathe without trees and plants to make the oxygen we breathe
