Un amico segreto in giardino
Nel giardino del nonno di Lucy si nasconde un grande segreto: è molto più vecchio di quanto si creda, più vecchio degli alberi, della terra e del cielo. Solo Lucy, il nonno e pochi altri riescono a vederlo: è Lob, una creatura dei boschi, e sembra fatto della stessa materia degli alberi e delle foglie. Quando il cottage del nonno viene venduto e Lob scompare, Lucy è tristissima: insieme al nonno ha perso anche la loro creatura segreta, colui che li aiutava a coltivare l'orto e il giardino. Lucy è ormai quasi convinta di averlo solo immaginato, eppure quando si trasferisce a Londra con la sua famiglia... Una storia impregnata di amore per la natura e di atmosfere magiche, che fa venire voglia di rimboccarsi le maniche e iniziare a zappare, seminare e annaffiare. Un nuovissimo "Giardino segreto" in cui rifugiarsi con la fantasia contemplando le meraviglie della natura. Età di lettura: da 8 anni.
