Very Creepy...I only wish I had waited until October!

The Night Gardener took me a while to read because I really loved reading it.
First of all, what a great cover!
Second, what an original story!
Third, what a wonderful way with words Jonathan Auxier has!
I read this book while I was reading The Madman of Piney Woods and it was kinda cool that both have ties to the Irish Potato Famine.  Again, I am ashamed of my lack of historical knowledge.  I knew about the Potato Famine but I didn't realize how much the British contributed to the horrors that the Irish faced.
This book is GREAT scary story and Molly and Kip are really, really cool characters.  There is a lot of good vs. evil here and a lot to think about regarding greed.  Good. Good. Good!  I hope there will be an audio, because this would be cool to listen to with the right narrator.  Awesome!
