About this audiobook

To others, Miss Brown's wild and overgrown house at the end of the road is scary, but to Holly it's like something out of a fairy tale. Holly reaches out to Miss Brown and discovers that she isn't scary at all – her brain has been ill for a while, and the wildness has spilled out. Can their budding friendship, and a bit of help with the butterflies in her garden, encourage Miss Brown to feel like herself again?
