Sign in for personalised guidanceAn atmospheric fantasy about a child settling into an ancient house and discovering links with children from an earlier time. Family, place, animals and stories are central.
Tolly moves in with his great-grandmother at Green Knowe and explores the house, grounds and its history.
Tolly discovers children who lived at Green Knowe centuries earlier and hears their stories while exploring the house.
Green Knowe and its old rooms, gardens and moat are associated with special magic, mysterious discoveries and children’s stories.
The supernatural element appears woven into the house and its history rather than presented as a separate adventure premise.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough; some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
