The Halflight House (Ages 8–12)

Eleven-year-old Corinne Bellamy has been shipped off to a crumbling Scottish estate where her great-uncle barely speaks to her and the housekeeper watches her every move. Bored and lonely, she stumbles upon a hidden greenhouse full of plants that glow at dusk—and hears someone crying behind a locked door at night. What Corinne uncovers will change everything: a forgotten garden, a boy kept prisoner by fear, and a family broken by grief that only she can begin to mend.
