Things aren't looking great for Gregory. But when he discovers an abandoned chalk factory behind his house, something magical happens: a beautiful garden and a quiet friendship spring up within its walls. Deceptively simple, with some rather rich themes. The power of imagination is only one, there's also a bit about bullies (fortunately just teasing, not fighting) and friendship and a place of one's own. Of course it's very like [b:The Hundred Dresses|42369|The Hundred Dresses|Eleanor Estes|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328875733s/42369.jpg|1000219] but with a boy, and more up-to-date.
