"A girl plants a fantastical idea... This charming, low-key tale celebrates those who unabashedly find unconventional things exciting... No poison here; just a garden of delights about someone who improves things in a unique fashion." -- Kirkus Reviews
"The sign at the entrance to Garden Glen boasts 'a picture-perfect place, ' a phrase that hints at the neighborhood's stifling conformity.
