(3) YA Set in post-World War II London, this book was originally published as an adult novel but over the years found an appreciative audience of older children. Lovejoy Mason lives by her own code--lying, stealing, bullying--until the day she snatches a packet of seeds from a smaller boy and becomes obsessed with the idea of planting a hidden garden.
