Evie reluctantly moves with her widowed father to Beaumont, New York, where he has bought an apple orchard, dismissing rumors that the town is cursed and the trees haven't borne fruit in decades.

Evie meets a boy who claims to be dead and receives a mysterious seed as an eleventh-birthday gift. Once planted, the seed grows into a tree overnight, but only Evie and the dead boy can see it--or go where it leads.The Garden of Eve mixes spine-tingling chills with a deeply resonating story that beautifully explores grief, healing, and growth.

evie doesn't believe in magic anymore.after all, if magic were real, her mom would still be alive.but when evie moves to beaumont, new york, where her father has brought a withered apple orchard that the townspeople whisper is cursed, she learns about a lost girl, receives a mysterious seed, and meets a boy who claims to be dead. before long, evie finds herself in the middle of a fairy tale. and this one is real.what an enchanting little story! it reminds us of how nothing ever dies. onlyThis was an okay book about an 11-year old whose mother has died and whose father is pretty much neglecting her. It has some fantasy and mystery and a lot of symbolism. I imagine 4th or 5th graders would really like it.
I would've been enthralled by this at maybe 10 years old, but today I have a qualm: the story is initially fueled and then furthered by lies the protagonist tells. Not every story needs to be a parable, but there's never any repercussion which seems like a missed opportunity and a dubious lesson.

I loved this story from page one. Eve is the kind of character you connect to immediately. Her mom has died of cancer and her dad is moving them to a tiny little town to live in an old house and take care of a dead apple orchard. But Evie's mom always told her to believe in magic...I read the entire book in one day. Nearly everything about it was just right. The characters are real, the way the subject matter was handled was perfect--it's emotional but not so bleak. There really is magic, and
After Evie's mother dies of cancer, her whole world is turned upside down. Her father, unable to bear living in the same place, moves them across the country to a house that is not only in a dead apple orchard, but also near a cemetery. Everyone in the town says that the orchard is cursed, but because of her mother's death, Evie no longer believes in curses or fairy tales. It's only when she receives a mysterious seed and decides to plant it that she begins to see that magic is all around her,
This book started off with the knowledge that the ten year old protagonist Evies mother, Tally, has passed away. Evie is deeply affected by this and eventually stops believing in magic and other things she used to believe in. One difficult change after another, her father decides to move from their home in Michigan to New York, for a fresh start. While picking up the keys to the new place, Evie learns that there are rumors that this town is cursed because of the mystery surrounding the
The story line was so good. I read lots of books and this one yacked me on the twist, never has that happen to me. I would mostly recamend to kids who have low inspiration on reading, on their self esteem, or kids who just love fantasy and a ending they will never forget.
