Rabbits in the Garden

By Jessica McHugh

Twelve-year-old Avery Norton is head over heels in love with her best friend. With Paul Dillon at her side, she's invincible against the slippery roofs of Martha's Vineyard gingerbread houses, indifferent to sermons from her overprotective mother, Faye, and excited for another buoyant summer on the island.

According to the staff at Taunton Asylum, she's also a crazed killer.

After uncovering a gruesome secret in her basement, Avery tumbles down a rabbit hole of death, doubt, and deception that leads to her incarceration in Taunton Asylum and threatens to keep her separated from Paul forever. But the more she learns about her past and the matriarch of the Norton family, the more she realizes how much danger she and Paul are in.

From Bram Stoker Award Nominee, Jessica McHugh, the twisted mind behind The Green Kangaroos and Nightly Owl, Fatal Raven, Rabbits in the Garden begins Avery Norton's horrifying journey to unearth the truth about her past and the woman who raised her to be a good little gardener.
