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!
