Text from the back cover:

When Evie reluctantly moves with her father to upstate New York, where he has bought an apple orchard, they dismiss rumors that the trees haven't borne fruit in decades because the town is cursed. After all, Evie doesn't believe in things like curses or fairy tales anymore. If fairy tales were real, her mom would still be alive. But then Evie receives a mysterious seed as an eleventh-birthday gift and meets a boy who claims to be dead. When planted, the seed grows into a tree before their eyes, but only Evie and the boy can see it - or go where it leads.

The Garden of Eve mixes eerie magical realism with a deeply resonating story that beautifully explores grief, healing, and growth.
