Maria has always been a difficult child, and it never takes long for her guardians to tire of her. So when old friends of her parents offer to "give her a better life" in the United States, Maria is shipped to a host family across the world. When Maria arrives on Long Island, things are not quite what she was expecting. Mr. Clayborne has left on an extended business trip, Mrs. Clayborne seems emotionally fraught, and inexplicable things keep happening in the Claybornes' sprawling house. And then Maria finds a locked gate to an off-limits garden. Since she's never been good at following rules, Maria decides to investigate and discovers something she never thought she'd find: a place where she feels at home. 650 0 $a Families $0 (DLC)sh 85047009 650 0 $a Orphans $0 (DLC)sh 85095750 650 0 $a Homesickness $0 (DLC)sh 85061737 650 0 $a Muslim girls $0 (DLC)sh 94007725 650 0 $a Gardens $0 (DLC)sh 85053101 650 0 $a Pakistanis $0 (DLC)sh 85096901 650 0 $a Immigrant children $0 (DLC)sh 97005597 650 0 $a Nature $0 (DLC)sh 85090277 651 0 $a Long Island (N.Y.) $0 (DLC)sh 85078257 655 7 $a Coming of age fiction. $2 tlcgt 941 $a 4 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230504010141.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20230411013130.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230411012810.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20230329010310.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=06CE6EE4CDF711ED9469B9D436ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b QW8Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
