 The Secret of Goldenrod

Order here!

 

When Trina and her father move into Goldenrod, an abandoned Victorian mansion, Trina hopes she will finally have a place to call home--and a chance to make friends at her new school. But school doesn't go as planned, and Goldenrod might be haunted. 

 

Then Trina discovers Augustine, a tiny--and very unusual--porcelain doll that belonged to the little girl who lived at Goldenrod a century ago. With help from Augustine, Trina realizes Goldenrod is trying to tell her an important secret, one that may just change her life.

A bewitching and beautiful story. . . . Like the mysterious mansion at the heart of the book, Jane O'Reilly's writing is magical." --Anne Ursu, author of Breadcrumbs and The Real Boy

​

The Secret of Goldenrod is replete with elements of a children's classic: yearning, solitude, hope, friendship, and most of all, magic. An utterly dear book. --Jane St. Anthony, author of Isabelle Day Refuses to Die of a Broken Heart
