Lucy and the Green Man

by Linda Newbery

Lucy loves spending time at Clunny Cottage, out doors in the garden with her Grandpa Will, helping in the garden and sharing in the secret of Lob. Lob, a green man made of the stuff of earth that only a select few could see. When Grandpa Will suddenly dies Lucy struggles with the loss of both her beloved Grandpa and their shared secret. The monthly chapters provide a timeframe for story as the focus alternates between Lucy's grieving process and Lob's journey. Younger readers may struggle with the slow pace and unfamiliar legend.
