From jacket: Great-Aunt Minty seems the wrong person to care for nine-year-old Olivia and her demanding five-year-old sister, Nellie, in the wake of their mother's death. She's white-haired and creaky, speaks hardly above a chirp, and knows almost nothing about children. What Aunt Minty does know about is the big horseshoe-shaped garden off her side porch, though it's so wild and overgrown the sistersr avoid it. Then a blue teacup turns up in the dirt, and Olivia finds an old story about a party of children transformed into flowers by a fairy spell. Only someone discovering the lost children's eight cups can bring them back. Now, the two sisteres know what they must do. Newberry Honor author Janet Taylor Lisle lights up the shadowy boderland between reality and fantasy in this enchanting story of two sisters who, in discovering the lost children, find their truest selves.
