Summary: A haunting, beautiful tale of love that transcends time
Comment: I first read this book at age 12, and still love it today at age 50. As a child, I loved it as a mystery, a ghost story. As I grew older, I loved it for its delving into the mysteries of time and space and religion. Now, it seems to me, most of all, a story of how two lonely children - a liitle boy named Tom and a little girl named Hattie - found each other's worlds and shared their lives. The ending never fails to move me to tears.

Summary: Tom's Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce
Comment: Tom's Midnight Garden is an endearing book about a boy who is sent away from his family for the summer due to illness. He goes to stay in a large old house that was once a beautiful estate, but has now been divided into apartments. At first, he is very lonely until he makes a discovery that sends his summer into an exciting twilight zone of adventure. The grandfather clock keeps very unusual time, sending Tom on a midnight escapade into a wonderful garden. Or is it really midnight? There he meets a girl, the only one who can see him, whom he befriends. They have many shared experiences in their little garden world and sometimes out of it, as well. Time passes for the girl, but the magic of the clock and garden always seem to keep Tom at the same age. Eventually, there is a tangible intersecting of their two lives, and through this, a surprising discovery of an old and treasured friend. Tom's Midnight Garden is well written and well paced. A true gem to read aloud or to enjoy by yourself. I recommend it highly. It is available through Amazon.com.

Summary: Fantastic
Comment: I am 42 and read this book as a child (in the UK), have read and re-read it since as well as to my own kids who are now 14 & 12 (here in the US) - and bought it for every single American child we have ever been to a birthday party for etc. I am MAD for this book and cannot impress upon anyone reading this review how amazing and other-worldly this book is - totally brilliant. I cannot understand why it isn't better known. Minnow on the Say is another super story for both children & grown-ups.
