Tom's Midnight Garden

A magical garden that only appears at midnight, full of children who just might be ghosts… From the clock striking thirteen to its impossible moonlit lawns, this haunting classic will give you the dreamiest kind of shivers. Banished to an aunt’s house over the summer, Tom resigns himself to deathly boredom. As he lies awake in bed one night, he hears the grandfather clock in the hall strike eleven… twelve… thirteen. Thirteen! Tom races down the stairs and out the back door, into a garden that definitely wasn’t there before. In this enchanted thirteenth hour, the garden comes alive – but are the children who play there real or not?
