Grandpa Will is one of the rare few who can see Lob. Lucy can see him, too, but how can she become a farmer when she lives in an apartment in London?
As a gardener, children's lit lover, and aficionado of fairy lore, of course I loved this. It's sweet but not sickly sweet, just the right length for a simple story about family and magic and believing in yourself (and the journey of Lob the green man to find his new Person)
