Description
There are things to be afraid of in the woods at the end of Autumn Street. But the year she goes to live in her grandfather's big house--while her father is fighting in World War II--Elizabeth can't put a name to those dark, shadowy fears. But she finds solace in her friendship with Charles, a boy who teaches her to take risks. Together the two children try to interpret an adult world that is always puzzling and often cruel.
