This bold graphic novel sequel to Cross My Heart and Never Lie, which Alice Oseman called a warm hug, follows Bao, who bands together with her friends to save their beloved forest from being turned into a car park.

But how can they make the adults listen?

A story about being big enough to understand what needs to be done, but too young to be taken seriously.

When Bao finds out that the adults have decided to turn her beloved forest – the Bog – into a car park, she realises that she’s the one who must act!

With her best friends Tuva and Linnéa by her side, Bao organises a protest.

And how do you make the adults understand the seriousness of the situation when you’re 12 years old?
