This much-anticipated follow-up to Jonathan Auxier’s exceptional debut, Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes, is a Victorian ghost story with shades of Washington Irving and Henry James. More than just a spooky tale, it’s also a moral fable about human greed and the power of storytelling.

The Night Gardener follows two abandoned Irish siblings who travel to work as servants at a creepy, crumbling English manor house. But the house and its family are not quite what they seem. Soon the children are confronted by a mysterious spectre and an ancient curse that threatens their very lives. With Auxier’s exquisite command of language, The Night Gardener is a mesmerizing read and a classic in the making.

Not really for kids, but an excellent scary fairy tale. I enjoyed it immensely as a gore repulsed 39 year old.

Loved it!

the only nominee of the young readers' choice awards that I could find on audio. I have 8-9-year-olds reading this and I can imagine it will be a bit much for them! I love how the children are the heroes but not by acting like grownups.

great accents, kind of scary for youngest readers

Overall I enjoyed this book, but it took me too long to get into it. I suppose the character and world building was too slow. The actual plot was interesting though. I would definitely recommend it, but know it is a slow build.

not bad

The story was interesting and well written, but the narrator left much to be desired. Her reading of dialogue was stellar, but the sentences in between all got read like they were all questions. Very good book though. I definitely recommend it.

Good book, iffy narrator

This is a great scary story for preteens, the story has a good supernatural theme and a little backstory about Irish immigrants. Well done. I thought some of the voices, especially the male ones sounded weak but the other voices were great. Mild recommendation for true horror fans.

Creepy without being too scary
