We meet the middle aged narrator at the beginning of the story, who after a funeral, has returned to the site of his boyhood home. Here her remembers what happened to him when he was seven, the summer he met Lettie, who lived down the lane, and her interesting mother and grandmother. It was a time of monsters, and spooky nights when the new nanny isn't all she seems.
It might be just me, as I am not a big fan of the fantasy genre in general, but possibly the best thing I liked about the book was the cover, just awesome, I kept looking at it every time I read it, hypnotised by the blue. I can see the magic in the story, but for me it just didn't resonate. 3/5
