Reviews
"...Bedard provides a quietly compelling and satisfyingly atmospheric tale. With its shifting narrators, the tension builds slowly as readers catch glimpses of Emily's unsettling dreams, her mounting anxiety and the gradual revelation of her story.... The book is a successful and engaging mystery while also offering much more.... It is a subtle and complex tale, filled with magic and mysticism, poets and dreamers, and unbreakable family ties ... it will linger in the minds of more introspective readers and provide them with a richly rewarding reading experience." --Recommended, CM Magazine "...Bedard takes full advantage of the genre's atmospheric creepiness and sepia-toned timelessness.... For more plot-hungry Goosebumps graduates, there are dark strangers, abandoned mansions, ghostly glowing, chilling coincidences, and otherworldly portals galore." --Starred Review, Quill & Quire "...this imaginative, gracefully written [story] makes an entertaining tale." -- The Horn Book "...This atmospheric exploration of what it means to be a poet offers memorable corporal and incorporeal characters, a realistic intergenerational relationship and a deeply rooted mystery connecting past and present. Ideal for those with a penchant for magic, mystery and poetry." -- Kirkus Reviews "The specter of an evil magician returning to destroy another life will lure readers into the novel's eerie core.... Mr. Bedard masterfully interlaces the real with the supernatural in these passages, evoking a sense of myriad magical possibilities." -- New York Journal of Books "There is a mysterious magician, prophetic dreams, and a handsome stranger who may be more, and less, than he seems. Bedard writes with grace and wit, but also with deceptive ease...." -- School Library Journal "Mystery, fantasy, romance, horror, and poetry come together in this classic outsider story with sometimes shocking twists and turns that reveal heartfelt connections.... [T]he action is fast, and the simple prose is pitch-perfect as tension builds to reveal that O 'dreamt the unimaginable and woke to find it real.'" -- Booklist

Synopsis
The story of a young girl finding her way with the help of her mysterious old aunt, and her intriguing second hand bookshop, The Green Man., When Ophelia's father heads off to Italy for the summer to finish work on his book on the poet Ezra Pound, O - as she prefers to be called - is sent by train to stay with her Aunt Emily, who runs a secondhand bookshop back east called The Green Man. Emily has recently suffered a heart attack. Part of the reason O is sent to stay with her is to see if she can help out with the shop. Part mystery, part fantasy, this compelling and beautifully written novel slips between the real world, and that of the creative imagination. Cloaked in the simple story of a young woman taking over a bookstore from her aged aunt, The Green Man is an eerie story about finding voice and courage, and about suspending disbelief, When Ophelia's father heads off to Italy for the summer to finish work on his book on the poet Ezra Pound, O - as she prefers to be called - is sent by train to stay with her Aunt Emily, who runs a second-hand bookshop back east called The Green Man, after she falls in and needs a helping hand. Part mystery, part fantasy, this compelling novel slips between the real world, and that of the creative imagination. Cloaked in the simple story, The Green Man is an eerie story about finding voice and courage, and about suspending disbelief!
