Winner of the Costa Book of the Year

'I can't think of anyone who would not love this story' - Matt Haig, author of The Midnight Library

The Lie Tree is a wonderfully evocative and atmospheric gothic novel by award-winning author Frances Hardinge. This edition has a beautiful new cover to celebrate the 10th anniversary and an introduction by Kiran Milwood Hargrave.

When Faith's father is found dead under mysterious circumstances, she stumbles upon a strange tree amongst his belongings. Faith, a gifted liar, is amazed to discover that the tree thrives on untruths - and delivers secrets to those who consume its fruit.

Convinced that the tree holds the key to her father's murder, Faith begins to use its powers to try and get to the bottom of the mystery. But webs of lies are far easier made than untangled, and there are truths at the heart of this small island community that are better left buried . . .

'Dark, thrilling, utterly original' - Patrick Ness, author of A Monster Calls
