Publisher's summary

L.M. Boston's thrilling and chilling tales of Green Knowe, a haunted manor deep in an overgrown garden in the English countryside, have been entertaining readers for half a century.

In this, the third book, Tolly and his grandmother are away (presumably in Cornwall). Two women have rented the house for the summer and ask three children to stay. Ida is the niece of one of the women; Ping and Oskar are refugees. The children are turned loose on the river, where they have many fine and imaginative adventures.

Don't miss the rest of the The Green Knowe Chronicles.

sent an (un-intended) chill down my spine

More like Wind in the Widows and Borrowers Afloat; but unsupervised, inexperienced, out-of-area kids on a canoe going downstream in a strange and flooding river is a recipe for horror, not entertainment. Unless the whole thing is a fantasy. English adults can be so out of touch.

Disappointing

I didn't like this one as much as the others in the series. The children in the story had wonderful imaginations but it didn't feel the same. I was greatly disappointed.
