Tom's Midnight Garden by Pearce Philippa

My Rating: 5 Stars

A friend recommended me to read this book even though it's for children. I took up the challenge and most say it's not what I was expecting... in a good way. 

For me, the story had a very slow and calm flow of events and it reminded of the time when I was still a child that saw the world through the eyes of innocence. Tom travels through time without really understanding why, getting to know friendship, reflecting on time itself, and growing up.

The ending is simply beautiful, and I felt a warmth that I haven't felt in a while when reading a children's book.
