Bess's mother moves them to Pineview, away from her best friend Megan, and she terribly misses her. Six months earlier, Bess’s father died in a car crash, and she’s also in the midst of recovering from the final stages of polio. She's in a sad and lonely place.

From the moment she and her mother settle into their new home, Bess hears whispering voices and encounters a ghostly figure in the well-kept garden and in her dreams. She can’t make sense of everything and so shares her observations with Megan by writing her regular letters.

During the summer, she makes new friends, including an orange and white tomcat that she names Pumpkin, and her new neighbour Josie. With the help of Mrs. O’Toole, the woman who watches her, Bess continues to recover, both physically and emotionally. She becomes more and more curious about the garden and the unexplained clues that she finds there.


EXCERPT


Excerpt from Chapter 3 where Bess meets her neighbor Josie:

A half hour later Mrs. O'Toole a hug, before heading outdoors with the small picnic basket. She peekid inside, surprised by how full it was. "Why so much?" Bess asked

"Your're always hungry, and you didn't eat any breakfast."

"Kitty always likes pieces of bologna," Bess aid.
