Steve Draper – ‘Project Cryption’

This exciting second instalment in the Greenerdawn series builds on the magical eco-fantasy world-building of Steve Draper’s debut novel. Steve Draper (1971, Music) takes readers deeper into the adventure, mystery, and fight to protect nature. When a new student arrives at Emma’s school – at first, unfriendly and mysterious – Emma’s kindness draws her new friend into the Greenerdawn group, where friendships are forged and young heroes rise to meet fresh dangers. Together with friends and allies, the group confronts the return of dark forces long thought defeated, adding complex layers of connection and heart-racing twists that will delight both returning fans and new readers alike.

Praised for its blend of imaginative storytelling and meaningful themes, Project Cryption continues to combine fantasy adventure with reflections on courage, belonging, and real-world topics. With richly realised characters, vivid world-building, and a page-turning pace, this second Greenerdawn tale expands the series’ appeal to children who love spirited guests and heroic growth, while maintaining the emotional depth and eco-conscious spirit that defines Steve Draper’s storytelling and appeals to mature readers.
