Try John Connolly's The Book of Lost Things xx

It was Kelmaria, very magical!

Tom's Midnight Garden! I had completely forgotten about this! It's the story with the clock that strikes 13 right? Wow,I am loving this nostalgia! I think these are the only two books in the genre that I have read, I haven't heard of The Ghosts but I will check it out for sure. Chrissy, Have you thought of what yours was yet? xx

Who knows why I thought it was victorian lol... Oh well. The book has now made it's way on to my christmas list!! xx

That's the one!!! As soon as I saw 'Jessamy' I remembered! Thank you so much Janet Good times!

Thank you! It's been driving me mad

Hi, I really hope someone can help me!! I remember reading a book as a child (it would have been at some point in the 90's) and I have no idea what it was called or who it was by, but I remember loving it and would like to track it down for my children.... when I have them lol. Anyway, the story goes... The main character is a young girl who goes to say with her Grandmother (I think it's her Grandmother) who lives in this big victorian house. I have a feeling she went to stay with granny because she has some sort of injury, maybe a broken leg?? Anyway, while exploring the house she goes in to a room that used to be a nursery and finds a cupboard that has children's measuring marks on the inside. Something happens and the girl swaps places with a victorian girl who lived in house hundreds of years ago. Turns out a set of the measuring marks belonged to this victorian girl... The details are a little hazy after that, but it was really good! Please help Jucy_Culps xxxxxx
