Bookroo's summary
In an ancient English manor, a lonely boy encounters the spectral children who once roamed its halls. As he delves into their world, he uncovers secrets that blur the line between past and present. What mysteries lie within the haunted walls of Green Knowe, and how will they change his life forever? This timeless tale of friendship and adventure invites readers to explore the enchanting and eerie depths of history, where the living and the ghostly intertwine in unexpected ways.
From the publisher
L. M. Boston’s thrilling and chilling tales of Green Knowe, a haunted manor deep in an overgrown garden in the English countryside, have been entertaining readers for half a century. Now the children of Green Knowe–both alive and ghostly–are back in appealing new editions. The spooky original illustrations have been retained, but dramatic new cover art by Brett Helquist (illustrator of A Series of Unfortunate Events) gives the books a fresh, timeless appeal for today’s readers.
