More about the book

Katie, a thirteen-year-old, struggles with her feelings about her new stepmother's pregnancy while spending the summer at her grandparents' Victorian home in Halifax. Preferring solitude in her attic bedroom, she finds solace in her imagination, particularly in her role as the disagreeable orphan Mary Lennox in her school's production of The Secret Garden. As she navigates her complex emotions, Katie's journey reflects themes of family dynamics and the challenges of adolescence.
