Description
In the months before his untimely death, Stephen Gately had written this, his first novel. The Tree of Seasons is a hidden portal into another world filled with magic. Within the tree there are four kingdoms, each represents a season and has its own ruler. The tree and the world it conceals have existed for hundreds of years and have never been uncovered by anyone from the human world, until now. When Josh, Michael and Beth Lotts catch sight of some mysterious lights and sounds one evening, they are drawn to the edge of the daunting forest near their home where no one dares to go. The Tree of Seasons is a beautiful story of good and evil and a vividly imagined portrait of a world beyond our own.
A charming and heartwarming novel written by Boyzone's Stephen Gately shortly before he died.
