Sweet little book with lovely illustrations. A very quick read. An unusual adventure traveling through the dew pond to a world without gravity. Tingles instead. I have just found this author and will look for more. (

Book description

When her father decided that Anna Lavinia's horizon needed broadening, he hit on the simple plan of tearing down part of the garden wall to give her a new point of view. Squarely in the middle of her new viewpoint rose Dew Pond Hill, and on a lavender day Anna Lavinia set out to explore it. What lay on the other side at once involved her in as many mysteries as a nest of boxes, and together with a new friend, Toby, she began to unravel them all in a wonderful upside down world.
