Delightful read – Clara’s Secret Garden by Rosie Green – #LittleDuckPondCafé

My Review:

This is another story involving the Little Duck Pond Café
I'm so happy to return there, I have to say!
The setting, regular characters and events, too,
All play their parts along with others who are new.

Clara Bowes is helping bring up her young brother
As her step-mum certainly doesn't act like his mother!
Clara visits her Gran's home and is shocked to discover
Her garden is full of weed and the lawn needs a mower!

Her Gran is in hospital and now Clara decides to try
To sort out the garden, but in secret - you'll soon know why!
She wasn't expecting anyone to volunteer but it seems
When her teen crush Rory offers, she's following her dreams.

With a dysfunctional family, and surprises, too,
This story is the start of a trilogy I recommend to you.
With talks of following your dreams and taking chances
It is a story full of twists and possible romances!

I'm now looking forward to reading the next part
To see if Clara will get to follow her heart.
For my complementary copy of this book I give a huge thank you.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and this is my honest review
