From time to time, I want to share some really good books I’ve been reading. Today is one of those days. The Night Gardener, by Jonathan Auxier, is a spine-tingling suspense story for kids. Part horror story, part fairy tale, this is a real page-turner that cannot be put down – we MUST discover what’s going to happen to Molly and Kip and we have to find out the truth about The Night Gardener.
Auxier, who was a finalist for a Govenor General’s Award for this book, builds a complete and wonderful world full of characters we come to love! A real gem and I agree that it is destined to become a classic! I highly recommend it to all parents and teachers!
