Bookroo's summary

In the ancient manor of Green Knowe, an English girl, a Polish refugee, and a displaced boy from the Orient embark on a mysterious adventure. As they explore the island-strewn river, they encounter both living and ghostly children, unraveling secrets hidden within the haunted estate. What mysteries will they uncover, and how will their discoveries change their lives forever?

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.
