A review by lis_allenwalker
The Night Gardener by Jonathan Auxier

3.0

When it comes to children’s books (which, granted I’ve always gravitated more to YA so my first hand experience with this genre isn’t as robust as others), I ask myself one thing: was I entertained?

No, I wasn’t. This is a morality tale cloaked in a children’s book. It tries too hard to be Coraline and ended up missing the mark for me.
