(4) 4-6 In 1987, twelve-year-old Annie visits her estranged grandmother, Molly, on her deathbed and somehow time travels to 1937 to meet her as a sickly child. In homage to The Secret Garden (referenced explicitly in the text), Annie gives young Molly the courage to explore the outside world. Despite good one-liners and lots of sneaking out, didacticism dissipates the story's tension.
