The Sisters of Straygarden Place / Hayley Chewins.
Author:
Chewins, Hayley, author.
Note:Seven years ago, the Ballastian sisters' parents left them in the magical Straygarden Place, a house surrounded by tall silver grass and floating trees. They left behind a warning saying never to leave the house or go into the grass. "Wait for us"; the note read. "Sleep darkly"; Ever since then, the house itself has taken care of Winnow, Mayhap, and Pavonine; feeding them, clothing them, even keeping them company; while the girls have waited and grown up and played a guessing game: Think of an animal, think of a place. Think of a person, think of a face. Until one day, when the eldest, fourteen-year-old Winnow, does the unthinkable and goes outside into the grass, and everything twelve-year-old Mayhap thought she knew about her home, her family, and even herself starts to unravel. With luscious, vivid prose, poet and author Hayley Chewins transports readers to a house where beloved little dogs crawl into their owners minds to sleep, sick girls turn silver, and anything can be stolen, even laughter and silence.
