The Girl in the Gatehouse begins with the main character, Mariah Aubrey, leaving her house in a carriage with her former nanny, Susan Dixen, to her aunt's house. She must leave behind her family and go live in a gatehouse for a reason that is not yet revealed. Her aunt does not come to greet her and Mariah is hurt. Her aunt's caretakers help her unpack and that is where I left off.
I made a text to text connection. This book reminds me of Narnia: The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe as the four children had to leave their home and go somewhere strange in the beginning as well.
PART TWO:
The caretakers have finished unpacking and the chapter ends. The next chapter goes a couple months ahead. Her aunt is getting sick and wants to see Mariah. Mariah goes up to her aunt's house and a key is given to her for a chest that she is not to open until her aunt is dead. Then Mariah meets her 'cousin' who she instantly hates.
I made a text to text connection. In the last Narnia book, the four children hate their cousin as well.
