We read this aloud this summer and could not put it down. The kids noticed I kept leaving at night with the book in hand and realized I was reading ahead. Busted. That was not okay with them. My mom babysat one night and read a chapter with them and said, "I'd like to borrow that book when you guys are done so I know how it ends."
It's a sweet tale of an orphan girl who finds a mysterious abandoned house and begins to clean it and tend the gardens...it's sort of all of our dreams come true. Nothing is too stressful, some parts hold suspense and the whole thing is delightful.
Alright. I feel better knowing that I spread the word on this super sweet book. Here's the link to Amazon to buy it for your kids, grandkids or honestly, yourself. Totally yourself. (Different Cover...I think mine is from the original printing. But it's the same book. :)
...wait. did I already blog about this? There is a lot going on in my life. Sorry if this is a repeat!

Just ordered it for my granddaughter. I was thrown off a bit because the cover was different on Amazon than the one you pictured here. I suppose it doesn't matter but why do they do that?
Thank you! This reminded me of your other book lists (which I went back to find!) - I was needing to add a few as Christmas gifts.
