Janet Taylor Lisleâs captivating Newbery Honor book explores how, like friendship, magic can emerge when you least expect itâand when you need it most. All you have to do is look deep.
Anything might happen in Sara-Kateâs backyard. For that matter, anything was happening.
For nine-year-old Hillary Lenox, being friends with Sara-Kate Connolly is a complicated business. Sara-Kateâs clothes donât match, her hairâs a mess, and sheâs known to spit at people when they make her mad. But when Sara-Kate shows Hillary the tiny elf village in her overgrown backyard, Hillary decides she canât be as awful as all that.
Hillary is amazed by the delicate houses, the miniature well, even an intricate Ferris wheel made of bicycle wheels and popsicle sticks. But the more time she spends in Sara-Kateâs yard, the more questions she has. How come they never go inside Sara-Kateâs house? Why is Sara-Kate sometimes missing from school? And why hasnât Hillary ever seen Sara-Kateâs mom? If Hillary can just look deep enough, she hopes, she will uncover the secrets of the elvesâand of her new friend.
