The Garden of Eve

The Garden of Eve is by K.L. Going. After Eve's mother dies of cancer, her father moves her away from everyone she's ever known and all the places where memories of her mother linger to a barren apple orchard in upstate New York. Eve doesn't believe in magic anymore and hates being surrounded by death. As her father struggles to revive an orchard the townspeople say is cursed, Eve is given a mysterious seed and meets a boy who claims to be dead. A touching fairy tale of love, death, and re-birth. A must read book!

Ratings: 7th grade - 10 out of 10.
