Autumn Street - Paperback

There are things to be afraid of in the woods at the end of Autumn Street. But the year she goes to live in her grandfather's big house--while her father is fighting in World War II--Elizabeth can't put a name to those dark, shadowy fears. But she finds solace in her friendship with Charles, a boy who teaches her to take risks. Together the two children try to interpret an adult world that is always puzzling and often cruel. Together, on a day when snow obscures everything but terror, they leave that world behind and enter the world that is waiting in the woods. This lovely repackaged edition features a new introduction by the author.
