Gwyneth Rees: The Making of May

Eleven-year-old May's life changes dramatically when she leaves the city and moves to Thornton Hall, a big house in the countryside where her grown-up brother Ben has got the job of gardener - despite having been less than truthful about his qualifications! With her new friend, Alex, May discovers that life at the Hall isn't quite as simple as it seems. What lies behind the locked tower room door that housekeeper Mrs Daniels guards so closely? As May and Alex begin a journey of discovery, transforming the Hall's overgrown walled garden, Mrs Daniels starts to close in on Ben's little secret. Could May be about to lose Thornton Hall - just as she realises its power to be the making of both her and Alex?

Review by Marnie from Hatchford Brook school

The Making of May - if you do'nt like the book, i think you're crazy and i think it's a shame i voted it last - but it was only 3rd! For this book, i give it 10/10 and a comment of: i loved it! i wish i had a sunflower garden and a friend who has a secret talent for painting - not offending my friends who i will miss when we leave! I think you can feel the atmosphere in the book and the emotion in it too. Honestly, now i'me running out of words to explain such a brill book. I'me goin now but miss me too much! Bye x
P.s. I hope you enjoyed all my comments and just in case your wandering, i voted: 1. girl missing 2. in the nick of time and 3. making of may. xx
