Tom's Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce
5.0

I found this title through reading another book. Curiosity got the better of me and I found a copy.

It's a wonderful childrens book that reminds me of why I read as a child. I wish someone had shown me this growing up.

In the story, we meet Tom - he is sent away for the summer due to his brother being ill with measles.

Tom thinks its going to be bore and a far stretch from his own scuppered summer plans but a strange grandfather clock has other ideas. At the stroke of 13 the magic really begins.

Heart-warming and engaging.
