(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Pam Smy. Lucy and her grandpa share a special bond, strengthened by their love of growing things and their belief in Lob, a magical "green man" who helps tend Grandpa's garden. When Grandpa dies, Lucy and Lob's connection eventually brings them healing and renewal. Despite its contemporary British setting, this gentle fantasy has an appealingly old-fashioned sensibility. Rustic black-and-white drawings illustrate every chapter.
