I need help with book title and the author, I can’t remember.?
rocking chair
I remember the title possibly having the words, fall, autumn, backyard, afternoon and fairies. In it. I reckon. It was a childrens book.
The basic plot I remember of it was, this girl has someone next door go in. The new girl has long blond hair, I am pretty sure she had boots. She might have also had like a tanktop undershirt. When the two girls start hanging out the do so in the new girls backyard mostly because they have this game (or it is real) Of some fairies in her
yard. The fairies build a small village like thing in her yard, complete with a Ferris wheel. The first girl once accused her
of making it up and building the stuff herself i reckon. Eventually when the first girl comes to the other girls house she can’t find
her at first. She goes upstairs to find her. She notices there are rooms within rooms. When she finally finds her, she is holding her mother in a rocking chair. The new girl jumps up and yells for her to get out.
I don’t remember what happens after that. Sorry if it is too rambly. I really want this book again.
Why is it not letting me pick an answer…Hm I will wait a bit…

Afternoon of the Elves by Janet Taylor Lisle
Kirkus Reviews
From the author of The Fantastic Dimpole Oak (1987), a tale about an unusual friendship between two imaginative girls–well-cared for Hillary, 9, and Sara-Kate, 11, who is secretly tending her mentally-ill mother. No one at school likes Sara-Kate, whose backyard adjoins Hillary’s, until Sara-Kate invites Hillary to look at an “elf village” of sticks, stones, and leaves in her yard. Thereafter, Hillary is loyal to Sara-Kate, despite her odd clothes and the Cream-of-Wheat she takes to school for lunch; she doesn’t even mind being excluded from Sara-Kate’s house: Hillary is fascinated by Sara-Kate’s vivid tales, half believing that Sara-Kate herself is an elf. Eventually, but, Hillary blunders into Sara-Kate’s cold, nearly bare house and finds that she alone is caring for her emotionally disturbed mother, with small money or food. Though Sara-Kate weaves an elaborate tissue of lies as explanation, the deception is over when Hillary’s mother discovers the truth: the mother is institutionalized. Sara-Kate is sent to relatives, leaving Hillary to resolve her confusion and grief at the sudden parting and the end of her imaginative dream. In clear language sparkling with fresh images, Lisle tells her tale as compellingly as Hillary is drawn into Sara-Kate’s fantasies. A remarkable, perceptive book to share aloud or savor alone. (Kirkus Reviews, August 15, 1989)
