(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Sian Bailey. Fourteen-year-old Evan considers the Roundhill, a tree-capped hill visible from his bedroom window, his secret, special place. One day he finds a strangely old-fashioned and mysterious girl there who resembles Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Set in 1936 England, this ghost story is contemplative and steeped in a strong sense of place. Black-and-white drawings open each chapter.
