A Carnegie Medal Shortlisted Fantasy Adventure
Anna and the girl eyed each other in the half light.
“Are you real?” Anna whispered at last.
“Yes, are you?”
Sent away from her foster home one long, hot summer to a sleepy Norfolk village by the sea, Anna dreams her days away among the sandhills and marshes.
She never expected to meet a friend like Marnie, someone who doesn’t judge Anna for being ordinary and not-even-trying. But no sooner has Anna learned the loveliness of friendship than Marnie vanishes…
Shortlisted for the1968 Carnegie Medal, When Marnie Was There is a beautiful modern classic.
