The Night Garden
$12.99
It is World War II and Franny Whitekraft lives with her parents, Sina and Old Tom, on a farm on Vancouver Island. Their peaceful life is interrupted when their neighbour, Crying Alice, begs Sina to watch her children while she goes to visit her husband at the military base because she suspects he's up to no good.
Soon after the children move in, letters arrive from their father that suggest he's about to do something to change their lives. And appearances from a stubborn young cook, UFOs, hermits, and ghosts only make life stranger
Can the forbidden night garden that supposedly grants everyone one wish help? And if so, at what cost?
