I loved this book! It was super inspiring. The lesson learned is to believe even when no one else believes in you. The main character is named eve. She is really nice to others but is having a hard time trying to believe in magic because everyone says it is fake but her mom thought it was real. I recommend this book because it will inspire you to be different from everyone else. It will also teach you other things.

Evie reluctantly moves with her widowed father to Beaumont, New York, where he has bought an apple orchard, dismissing rumors that the town is cursed and the trees haven't borne fruit in decades. Evie doesn't believe in things like curses and fairy tales anymore--if fairy tales were real, her mom would still be alive. But odd things happen in Beaumont. Evie meets a boy who claims to be dead and receives a mysterious seed as an eleventh-birthday gift. Once planted, the seed grows into a tree overnight, but only Evie and the dead boy can see it--or go where it leads. The Garden of Eve mixes spine-tingling chills with a deeply resonating story that beautifully explores grief, healing, and growth.
