“A fascinating tale…Henry digs in to themes of family, environmentalism, and the connection between humans and the natural world.” —Publishers Weekly “Henry’s near-future fantasy world is interesting and beautiful, with lush descriptions of the forest and the fantastical world hidden within.” —Library Journal “Henry adeptly navigates the communication struggles among families and the destructive forces of climate change in this thrilling fantasy.” —Booklist “Perfectly balanced between the fantastical and sharp reality, The Canopy Keepers is a genre-defying work as prescient as it is brilliant. Henry has written yet another extraordinary novel everyone should be reading.” —Cadwell Turnbull, award-winning author of No Gods, No Monsters “A gripping, compelling story with themes of great significance to us all.” —Shiv Ramdas, author of Domechild “The Canopy Keepers is a gorgeous love story for national parks, trees, and the people who protect them. Veronica Henry’s characters are strong, complicated heroes, and her world is delicately, lovingly drawn—and an anguished reminder of everything we are losing day by day.” —Yume Kitasei, author of The Stardust Grail
