Description
"It was the eleventh day of the school holidays and Rebecca was bored. Bored. Bored. Bored." But events take a dramatic turn for the better (or worse) when she finds herself transported to a distant planet, whose people are terrorized by jelly-like monsters called Ghosts. Rebecca resolves to sort out their problems. With the help of Grisby, a sore-footed misery-boots, Kovak, an out-of-work spy, and Captain 'K', a rather puny superhero, she sets out for the Forbidden Lands in search of a solution. There's only one problem... the evil Mister Glister.

This is my favourite Childrens book. Written by Terry Nation, the guy who invented The Daleks, it tells the story of a Rebecca, a little girl who ends up on a mystery world where Mister Glister has chopped down all the trees to build his beautiful City of Glass. However the trees were protecting
So Rebecca together with her new friends Grisby, Captain K, and Kovak, set off on an adventure to find the last tree and save the world from the Ghosts.
A wonderfully funny story, of friendships, adventures, and environmentalism.
Go to the nest of the Splinter-bird
Climb its eyrie on high.
Look through the eye of the needle,
Find the feather well hidden close by.
Cross the cave of the Silkies, it takes courage for this as you'll see.
Seek out the Tongue Twister monster, pass him and you're nearer the tree.
Beware not to fall into bad habits,
It's easier than you know.
If you don't laugh at the Swardle Wardle Creatures,
You've not much further to go.
