Green Fingers




An absorbing and perceptive tale of a troubled youngster who finds new hope when she begins restoring a garden.

Troubled Kate is hostile to the idea of moving to the country, suspecting that the family are only moving because of her problems at school. But everything goes wrong from the moment they move into the old farmhouse out in the middle of nowhere - Mum and Dad arguing so much that Mum moves back to London, school just as much of a problem as ever and she still can't read properly... Then Kate discovers a reason to try again: the abandoned garden behind their new home...
