Críticas

"The illustrations were gorgeous" - Diamonds & Coal Book Review

"Nuanced and gently-paced, share this with imaginative young readers dealing with change." - Kirkus

""Green's portrayal of Tilly's anxiety is well-handled... fans of Philippa Pearce's Tom's Midnight Garden (1958) or Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden will enjoy this." " - Booklist

"A story that already feels like a classic and would make a good read-aloud in a classroom or home setting." - Lost in the Library

"A lot of kids will be able to relate to Tilly having a new sibling coming, being worried about changes in their household, and starting new schools. How Tilly and her imagination get her through the changes is an enjoyable read and one that will delight and help young readers with the changes in their lives. We highly recommend it, and in fact I would suggest giving it to an older sibling as a 'baby shower' present, as something special for them to treasure! " - Bless Their Hearts Mom

"This was a sweet book filled a girl's fear of loosing her mother and moving to a new home during a turbulent time in her life... I really enjoyed how Green made the magic of the den seem special just when Tilly needed it most. I liked how you are not sure if Helen was crossing through time or if she was an imaginary friend. It is a great way to get children to think things through and come up with their own conclusion. I am sure that there will be spirited debates between friends who read the book.

"Tilly's character, unsure of herself in a new town and new school, is also at an "in-between" age, wondering if she should be shedding some of her childhood interests, even though she's not quite ready to do so. This theme is important in literature, for what better way for young readers to explore it safely than in a book? Told with emotion, but never coming on too strong, Tilly's Moonlight Garden is a story of a young girl in a time of transition, and it provides a bit of magic while also addressing feelings that will surely be understood by young middle grade readers." - 5 Minutes for Books

"The illustrations were gorgeous" - Diamonds & Coal Book Review

"A perfect length, 220 pgs, for intermediate readers. Hand this one to kids who enjoy beautiful language and description and will sympathize with Tilly's shyness at school and her private worries." - Jean Little Library

"Tilly's Moonlight Garden is a darling book filled with imagination and comfort." - Oh My Books Blog

Reseña del editor

Tilly just moved into a drafty old mansion, away from all her friends. She spends her afternoons wandering around her new backyard in order to escape the cold, dusty rooms of the house. But one night, Tilly follows a fox she has seen from her bedroom window and he leads her deep into a hidden garden that is nothing short of mesmerizing in the moonlight. This mysterious garden and the special friend she meets there help her rediscover the magic in her own life.

This is the story of an unforgettable time in one girl's life and how a new home, a secret garden, and a little fox can change someone in the most unexpected ways.
