The Ghost in the Garden
About the Book
Twelve year old Sophie Madison is miserable. Having left her home in the big city of Calgary for Stratford, Ontario, she has left her friends, her apartment, and everything she knew for a life that is different from what she's used to. She can't deny that the house her parents have chosen is big and full of "character", but something is not quite right, and the young girl who hangs around their back garden just gives her the creeps.
Faced with the stress of leaving behind the only life she has ever known in the big city to the much smaller city of Stratford, Sophie is struggling. She has left all he friends, her school, and apartment living for a big house in a place that for her, is sleepy and quiet. It is a time of upheaval and adjustment. Add to that the fact that she may have just moved into a haunted house, and it's a lot for her to take in.
This book is about a young girl's desire to fit in, to find friends, and her relationship with her family. It explores a pivotal time in a young girl's life, where already, so much is changing. The story is told primarily through Sophie's point of view, and how she must rely on her own inner strength, as well as on others. This book also looks at the relationship between mothers and daughters. Sophie learns to rely on her own mother, and the ghost who lives in the garden is a young girl named Tabitha, whose relationship with her mother is a pivotal plot point in the novel. This is a story about family, love, and friendships, exploring how friendships can grow, but also how they can drift apart.
