The Song of Orphan’s Garden

In this enchanting middle grade fantasy debut in verse, a Human girl and a Giant boy must find a way to break free of the centuries-old battle between their people in order to save a magical garden--their last hope of surviving a world devastated by eternal winter.

Nicole M. Hewitt is a middle-grade author living in the Chicago suburbs with her husband, three grown kids, and three overly enthusiastic pups. She hates to run, but she succeeded in finishing a marathon in 2022 (it was for a good cause!). She enjoys nature but doesn’t see nearly enough of it in Illinois, so her family travels to national parks as often as possible. She also loves to sing and can often be heard spontaneously composing incredibly profound songs about the fluffiest members of her family (the dogs, in case you weren’t sure). The Song of Orphan’s Garden is her debut novel.
