The Mulberry Tree

Immy and her family are moving to a tiny village in England for a couple of reasons. Her mom has a job there, and they are hoping that being away from the hustle and bustle of city life will help her father deal with his depression and get back on his feet.
Against the advice of their realtor, Immy's parents sign a one year lease on the Lavender House. The villagers claim that the menacing mulberry tree in the backyard steals girls who live their on their eleventh birthdays. With Immy's eleventh birthday coming soon, they plan to prove to everyone that trees don't steal children. It's all nonsense.

This is both creepy and heartwarming. I really enjoyed it. Perfect for middle grade fans.
