One for lovers of nature and animals, this is a sweet ghost story for 9+. Tilly has moved to a new house left to her mum by an elderly friend. Her mum is heavily pregnant, but due to complications is bed-bound. The worry of this, the house move, a new school, and lack of friends all lead Tilly to an anxious state of mind. She has vivid dreams and sleepwalks. The presence of a fox in the garden and the discovery of an old dolls house in the attic both lead Tilly to meet Helen in a newly made den in the old garden. Once Tilly's mum has the baby and all is well, Helen disasppears, Tilly makes a friend at school ,and there are no more strange dreams or sleepwalking.
