The Night Gardener felt like an extended Grimms story, and that's just about the highest compliment I could give a book like this. It has an excellent creepy atmosphere combined with quality writing and a decent amount of heart, all coming together to make a very enjoyable dark fable.

Really, really good middle grade fiction. Dark and very scary! 4.5
