Tom has to stay with his uncle and aunt when his brother gets measles. Bored and lonely, he eventually finds what seems to be the ideal escape. Every night, after the clock strikes thirteen, he finds he can travel back in time to a mysterious Victorian garden just by walking out of the back door. None of the adults can believe that the garden exists, but for Tom it is a place of marvellous adventures. Winner of the Carnegie Medal
