Description - The Ghost Garden by Emma Carroll
Queen of historical fiction Emma Carroll crafts an evocative and spine-tingling tale of childhood on the brink of war.
Summer, 1914. When Fran uncovers a bone in the garden of Longbarrow House on the same afternoon that Leo breaks his leg, it is just the first in a series of strange and unsettling coincidences.
Leo is left immobilised for the rest of the summer and Fran is roped in to keep him company, forced to listen to his foolish theories about the looming threat of war in Europe. Suddenly the garden she has loved all her life seems to hold threatening shadows of the future, and Fran starts to fear what she and Leo might find next …
Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.
