A New York Times bestseller, The Night Gardener is a Victorian
ghost story with shades of Washington Irving and Henry James. More
than just a spooky tale, it's also a moral fable about human greed
and the power of storytelling. The Night Gardener follows two
abandoned Irish siblings who travel to work as servants at a
creepy, crumbling English manor house. But the house and its family
are not quite what they seem. Soon the children are confronted by a
mysterious spectre and an ancient curse that threatens their very
lives. With Auxier's exquisite command of language, The Night
Gardener is a mesmerizing read and a classic in the making. Praise
for The Night Gardener STARRED REVIEWS "Lots of creepiness,
memorable characters, a worthy message, Auxier's atmospheric
drawings and touches of humor amid the horror make this cautionary
tale one readers will not soon forget." --Kirkus Reviews, starred
review "Storytelling and the secret desires of the heart wind
together in this atmospheric novel that doubles as a ghost tale."
--School Library Journal, starred review "Auxier achieves an ideal
mix of adventure and horror, offering all of it in elegant,
atmospheric language that forces the reader to slow down a bit and
revel in both the high-quality plot and the storytelling itself."
--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "All proper scary
stories require a spooky, menacing atmosphere, and Auxier (Peter
Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes) delivers the goods with his precise
descriptions of the gothic setting and teasing hints of mystery and
suspense." --The Horn Book Magazine Summer 2014 Kids' Indie Next
