On a mean street in a mean city, a thief tries to snatch an old woman's bag. But she finds she can't have it without promising something in return - to \"plant them all\". When it turns out the bag is full of acorns, the young thief embarks on a journey that changes her own life and the lives of others for generations to come. Inspired by the belief that a relationship with nature is essential to every human being, and that now, more than ever, we need to renew that relationship, The Promise is the story of a magical discovery that will touch the heart and imagination of every reader, young and old. With poignant simplicity, honesty and lyricism, Nicola Davies evokes a powerful vision of a world where people and nature live in harmony. And Laura Carlin's delicate illustrations capture a young girl's journey from a harsh, urban reality to the beauty and vitality of a changed world.","brand":"Scotia Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41038724530359,"sku":"9781406355598","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5629\/7143\/files\/9781406355598_32e6fd3a-7735-4469-8663-be61ce997e09.jpg?v=1756975688","url":"https:\/\/www.scotiabooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781406355598","provider":"scotia-books-online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
