"The Enchanting World of Garden Irene McGeeny" by Concetta Kennedy tells the story of a young girl who lives in a secret underground castle. Garden McGeeny is a little girl who has moved recently into town. She lives in a secret underground castle that her grandfather and great-grand uncle built years ago. No one knows about the existence of this castle. Garden is new in school and does not yet have many friends. The only good friend she has is Peter, the smartest boy in class. One day in a discussion about different types of homes, Garden blurts out about her secret castle, much to the surprise of her classmates and teacher. Now she must figure out a way to get out of the predicament, answer the relentless questions asked by Peter about her home and prove to him that she is not a liar; all while keeping a promise to her parents not to tell anyone about the castle.
"The Enchanting World of Garden Irene McGeeny" is a book of wonder and make-believe. Concetta Kennedy spins an engaging tale. The descriptions in the story are vivid and awe-inspiring, capturing the imagination of the reader. The story deals with a young girl’s dilemma as she tries to do the right thing by her parents and her friend. It has a happy ending as the girl, Garden, makes the morally correct choice. The book is delightful in its plot and fluency; nowhere does it seem to be stale or boring. The scenery and castle described in the book are sure to fascinate any young reader. I really enjoyed reading this book.
