What mysteries lurk beneath the cherry tree in the garden?
Underneath the cherry tree in our garden there is a little hole. I’m sure there is something down there . . .
When a little boy’s ball disappears down a mysterious hole in the garden, he can’t stop thinking about what could be down there. Could it be a little mouse’s house? The lair of a hungry troll? Or maybe even a dragon’s den? Whatever the something is, he is determined to find out!
The Something is a gorgeous, original story full of warmth and the wonder of childhood from Rebecca Cobb, the award-winning creator of Lunchtime and Aunt Amelia. Join this imaginative adventure, perfect for young readers who love animals, fantasy, and tales of friendship and family.

I like the bit where the dog dreams of rabbits and the dragon.

I liked this book because it’s about how they use their imagination. My favourite character was the dog because I love animals. I would recommend this book to friends because it is amazing!!!!

It was funny because they thought “something” was only one thing but it was everything they said it was.
