The Garden

An adventurous book about fantasy, yearning, and mystery.

Ezra Flux is an adult in his late twenties tied to his home in a bleak and constantly rainy neighbourhood with nothing more than the comfort of his routine to keep him from wasting away in his bed. He soon finds himself in a peculiar situation when he uncovers a hidden door in his home, leading him into a whimsical garden that feels like fiction. There, he meets Raven Blackfeather, a beautiful and intelligent young woman of Native American and English descent. He also gets to meet Jasper Hawthorn, who Raven explains is a well-known figure in the local art scene. They all bond over art and grow to become close friends. But tensions begin to rise within the garden and Ezra finds that this garden may not be all it's chalked up to be.

Fans of Neil Gaiman's Coraline may find this book similarly appealing.
