"Season of Secrets," by Sally Nichols

Two sisters Molly and Hannah have lost their mom. While their dad is getting things sorted out, he sends the girls to live with their grandparents. 

It was frustrating for Molly and Hannah to be away from home and dad.  One day, they run out into a rainstorm to find their way back home.  It was dark and furious outside. No streetlights, no house lights. The air was damp and cold. In the darkness of the scary night, the sisters get separated. Hannah finds her way back to their grandparent’s house but Molly gets lost.   

As she tries to find her way, Molly runs into a man that is being hunted by dogs and huntsmen on horses.  He is no ordinary person. Not only does he keep disappearing, he can also grow a blossom out of his hand and make a sapling grow in the middle of winter.  Can this nameless man bring Molly’s mother back to life?

Sally Nichols’ Season of Secrets fills you up with suspense until the last word. As you flip each page, you can’t help but wonder what will happen next! An exciting book, Season of Secrets is an adventure itself. Once you start reading, you don’t want to put the book down!
