An incredibly enjoyable book to read. The story developed wonderfully, although did stagnate slightly towards the middle. A book that incites an unearthing of long buried childhood innocence whilst also dealing with mature emotional themes. An impactful reminder of the power of Nature/God (Magic) and positivity.

This book made me long for sitting in a garden, watching flowers grow.
