The Humming Room
Ellen Potter (0) , 0 pages
Inspired by The Secret Garden, The Humming Room is the beautifully told story of Roo Fanshaw, an introverted and wild young girl who feels more comfortable hiding in tight spaces, listening to the earth than with other people. When her drug-dealing father and his girlfriend are murdered, the orphaned Roo moves to the mansion of a mysterious uncle she never knew she had. The mansion sits on an island in Upstate New York and has disturbing reminders of the building's original purpose; a tuberculosis sanitarium for children. Roo, never one to follow instructions, explores the grounds and the forbidden areas of the eerie house, where she finds a neglected garden and makes her first true friend.
