Stanley's Aquarium

Robbie is sixteen and looking for a weekend job. She finds one, mowing the lawn that encircles a most unusual garden. The garden belongs to a man named Stanley, a rather odd fellow who counts gardening as only one of his hobbies. He also breeds fish, and Robbie grows more and more curious about the shed in the garden where he keeps them. It's just an old shack, but Stanley keeps it under lock and key. And why does she hear sounds of splashes and mad thrashing whenever Stanley goes in to feed his pets? From the author of The Return and The Keeper, here is a suspenseful novel about a remarkable young woman dealing with the pressures of growing up and the frailties and confusion of the adults around her.
