“This author duo certainly knows how to weave a plot. A touch of the supernatural is seamlessly incorporated” — Helsingin Sanomat newspaper
“A return to those seemingly endless summer days and adventures that only children experience…the daydreaming from Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables, the mystery-solving of Blyton’s The Famous Five, and the imaginative world akin to The Secret Garden. Despite numerous connections to the traditions of children’s literature, The Secret of the Grove stands on its own, creating its own unique world of childhood.” — Karjalainen newspaper
