Description

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND INDIE BESTSELLER! Wednesday Addams meets The Curious Garden in this delightfully peculiar story about finding joy in being wonderfully weird.

Garden Glen is a very bland place. Every house and every garden looks exactly like the other. That is... until Millie Fleur La Fae comes to town.

Up on a scruffy hill, beside a ramschackle house, Millie Fleur plants her marvelously strange garden, filled with Sneezing Stickyweed, Fanged Fairymoss, and Grumpy Gilliflower. Millie Fleur finds it enchanting, but the townspeople of Garden Glen call it poison!

But Millie Fleur is proud of her beloved little garden. So if some townspeople want to be sticks in the mud, she'll take matters into her own hands and find the kindred spirits who appreciate everything the garden has to offer.

Millie Fleur's Poison Garden is a reminder to embrace everything that makes us wonderfully weird. Perfect for readers of The Creepy Carrots and fans of the Addams Family movies.

Praise for Millie Fleur's Poison Garden:

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

AN INDIE BESTSELLER

AN INDIE NEXT PICK

"This dare-to-be-different picture book blends beautifully with the kids-to-the-rescue story...leaves readers with much to think about."--Shelf Awareness, starred review

"A girl plants a fantastical idea...This charming, low-key tale celebrates those who unabashedly find unconventional things exciting...No poison here; just a garden of delights about someone who improves things in a unique fashion."--Kirkus Reviews

"The sign at the entrance to Garden Glen boasts 'a picture-perfect place, ' a phrase that hints at the neighborhood's stifling conformity. But young Millie Fleur--who's vaguely reminiscent of Wednesday Addams in Mandin's measured, sepia-toned digital illustrations--changes all that when she and her mother move into a lone, decrepit gothic house on the edge of town."--Publishers Weekly

"This charming picture book...pays homage to classic and beloved creeps like those featured in Frankenstein and The Addams Family while simultaneously creating its own...Young readers will leave inspired by Millie's refusal to hide what she loves." --Bookpage
