Tom's Midnight Garden
by Philippa Pearce
This is a mysterious, delightful book filled with ghosts and time travel and family. Tom, in his unhappiness at staying with his aunt and uncle, discover a midnight garden which does not exist at any other time. Yet he appears to be going back in time...either that, or he's seeing ghosts. Or is he the ghost? He ponders this for many mornings, wondering just how real such an unreal place can be.
Tom's Midnight Garden is written in that typical 50's style, but a style that is nonetheless intriguing. Both Tom and Hatty and their respective families pose as much curiosity at times as the time travel question does. Overall, this is a fun book, perfect for a fifth or sixth grader interested in ghosts.
