Every child in the neighborhood knows the terrifying rumors about Mr. Wintergarten. They say his gloomy, sunless yard is guarded by a wolf-like dog and a hungry saltwater crocodile. Next door, young Rose Summers lives in a cheerful home surrounded by flowers and laughter. When her ball accidentally flies over the fence into the dreaded yard, Rose must summon all her courage to get it back. Encouraged by her mother, she bravely approaches the frosty house next door, bringing fresh fairy cakes and flowers to sweeten the visit. What she discovers behind the imposing fence completely shatters the neighborhood legends. This gentle exploration of looking past frightening appearances reveals the lonely reality behind a grumpy exterior. Young readers will be inspired by Rose's simple act of kindness, discovering how a warm gesture can melt the coldest of hearts and forge the most unexpected friendships.
