Synopsis

'I can stand you all being a lot worse now, because I can always go there. It's when I haven't got anywhere to go that I get mad straight away. But if I go there for half an hour it's beautiful to come back.'

Fourteen-year-old Susan is talking about her Parcel of Trees, the secret place she found and nearly lost. This is the story of how she managed to keep it, by clever detective work. a legal battle with the Railway Company, and sheer determination. But a book by William Mayne is more than just a series of interesting events. It's like being given a pair of magic spectacles and stepping right into a picture. So when Susan is helping her mother in the shop you actually smell the fresh baked bread, and when she discovers the mysterious graves you seem to feel the damp moss on the tombstones.
