ISBN: 9781949062168.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet in New York in the early 1900s, Melissa Across the Fence begins with an enchanting description of the grand house next door. \"In the rear, a lawn ran right back to the fence broken only by a narrow gravel walk, and with a stone fountain directly in the middle. In the spring and summer, water bubbled up in the fountain-basin in jets of flying spray.... But there was one strange thing about the house that puzzled Melissa: Nobody ever seemed to live in it.\" However, that soon changes when the shut-up house becomes occupied and Melissa sees a mysterious, pale-looking boy always looking out his window. Who is he? Why does he never come outside? Melissa finds out by writing a message on her chalkboard and holding it up outside the boys window. A sweet story of friendship ensues, sprinkled with gentle adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45253870387253,"sku":"ByrdShop_1949062163","price":59.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781949062168_6ea54b5b-0781-43f7-8600-8a0ea57d3668.jpg?v=1779949282","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/melissa-across-the-fence-9781949062168","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
