Lucy Arlington's Summerland has to be the most enchanting books I have read so far this year.
October 1946 , a group of children, refugees from Europe arrive in England, and one , Brigitta Igeul runs away, she needs to get to the house her mother called "Summerland" to solve a mystery.
Summerland has it's own secrets, and ghosts, stories that need to be told.
Though this is a book about the end of the war, it's also a story that is important today,. It's a story of how we perceive people, how we don't always see beneath the surface of the skin

For me , reading this book was like dancing in a dream, it was beautiful, tender and enchanting, a story for any age, a story that anyone picking it up, once started will find it hard to put down.
