Tom's Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce
4.0

this was such a lovely story, and despite the fact that its a childrens book i think many adults would enjoy it. i found the story a bit slow to get into because it was a childrens book, but once i became more connected to the characters it was like reading any other book. I did see the plot twist at the end coming all the way from the beginning but that didnt bother me, for children it would have been a bigger shock. the ending, however, was absolutely heartbreaking. it was beautiful. the ending can definitely be appreciated by adults more than children.
