Pick up The Night Gardener (Amulet, $16.95) for a thrilling, suspenseful tale of young storyteller Molly and her younger brother Kip, orphaned as children. Fleeing the Irish Famine, desperate to make a living, and ignoring all warnings, Molly and Kip take work at the Windsor Estate as a housemaid and groundskeeper, respectively. They soon notice some creepy features of the household: evidence of someone walking through the house in the middle of the night, a tree that grows into the side of the house with a hole in it that grants your heart’s desire—but at a very high cost. Jonathan Auxier has written a satisfying tale that will keep you awake at night and make you ponder the value of telling the truth. Ages 10-14. Kerri Poore
