Five things about Tom’s Midnight Garden by Phillips Pearce 📚📚📚📚
1. What a great story! I can’t believe I’d never read it before this year. Tom has to go stay with relatives while his brother recovers from measles. While there he stumbles upon a clock that strikes 13, a garden that’s only there sometimes, and a Victorian family that can’t possibly be living there in Tom’s 1930s.
2. I loved reading about all the meetings between Tom and Hattie…especially the last one.
3. I was confused by how the time travel took place. The rules of this magic just didn’t make sense and the discussions about how time work were not helpful.
4. Even though I couldn’t “get it” I still loved it. It was a thrilling, imaginative, engrossing read full of warmth and atmosphere.
5. Great kick off to #middlegrademarch for me.
