What a beautiful story. This is about a boy Quill, whose magical family hides him away for his own protection. When his mother allows a new neighbor to move into their building, Quill and newcomer Liam meet and sparks fly.
Now, experiencing things he has never experienced before, finding adventure with Liam, he finds a comfort in the other boy. He has never had any magic of his own, though his mother and sister tell him it will come in time.
But, fearing an intruder inside of the garden that holds their family’s magic upends everything his family has worked so hard for for so long.
Quill trusts Liam, but what is really going on? Is it all just too coincidental or is Liam someone who Quill can’t trust?
This was so beautiful. I loved Quill and Liam’s story. I loved the incredible nature magical element to this story and it was such a fun and modern take on The Secret Garden.
