Anna whispered at last."Yes, are you?"Sent away from her foster home one long, hot summer to a sleepy Norfolk village by the sea, Anna dreams her days away among the sandhills and marshes.She never expected to meet a friend like Marnie, someone who doesn't judge Anna for being ordinary and not-even-trying. But no sooner has Anna learned the loveliness of friendship than Marnie vanishes…Shortlisted for the1968 Carnegie Medal, When Marnie Was There is a beautiful modern classic.'Extraordinarily potent fantasy … the climax is both thrilling and intensely moving.' The Spectator
