When Marnie Was There (Essential Modern Classics)
Joan G. Robinson
Anna hasn’t a friend in the world – until she meets Marnie among the sand dunes. But Marnie isn’t all she seems… A major motion picture adaptation by Studio Ghibli, creators of SPIRITED AWAY and ARRIETTY. 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…
Reviews

This book was so good You should definitely read it as it is great for whatever type of book you like. It can also be very mysterious.

My favourite character was Marnie because she was Anna's Grandma but Anna didn't know this until Gillie told her the story of Marnie and Marnie made friends Anna! I would recommend this book to people who like a fantasy and beach story
