'Elegant, assured, sad and hilarious' GUARDIAN
Jess is allergic to the sun. She lives in a world of shadows and
hospitals, peeking at the other children in the playground from
behind curtains. Her only friend is a boy in a coma, to whom she
tells stories.
One night she sneaks out to explore the empty playground she's
longed to visit, where she discovers a beautiful impossiblity: a
magical garden wrought of ice.
But Jess isn't alone in this fragile, in-between place ...
We're launching a startling debut talent into the middle-grade
market in this classic-feeling magical-realist story, full
of wonder and warmth.
A tale of loneliness, friendship and the healing power
of love, set between the real, contemporary world and world of
ice and magic - sure to capture the imaginations of readers.
Shadows of classics such as Tom's Midnight Garden and The
Secret Garden, contemporary
setting yet utterly timeless in feel and theme.
