Reach for this book when your child is beginning to crave independence and a private world away from the watchful eyes of adults. It speaks directly to that transitional age where children start seeking out physical and mental spaces of their own, mirroring the universal desire for a sanctuary where one can simply exist without being managed. The story follows Susan, a young girl living in a railway station house, who discovers a small, overgrown patch of land that has been forgotten by everyone else. To claim it as her own, she must dive into local history and prove her case through research and persistence. It is a quiet, contemplative mystery that celebrates the beauty of nature and the power of a child's agency. It is perfect for children ages 9 to 12 who enjoy slow-burn stories about discovery and the satisfaction of uncovering hidden truths.
