The Humming Room

(4) 4-6 Orphaned Roo goes to live with her uncle on a remote island. She meets a boy magically in tune with nature; helps cure her ill cousin; and restores a hidden tropical garden. The St. Lawrence River is more distinctly evoked than some of the characters, but readers will root for Roo in this novel "inspired by" The Secret Garden.
