The Green Room

By Walter Lockwood

The Green Room, a novel for both young people and adults by Walter Lockwood, tells the story of Frieda Pitts-Morgan, a lonely, neglected eleven-year-old girl whose itinerant parents leave her for a school semester with a grandmother she has never met, an usual woman named Demetria Morgan who is the former matriarch of a renowned circus family of equestrian acrobats. The grandmother's residence is a chaotic, decaying place full of strange and beguiling surprises, including a talking crow, a wise and mysterious Collie, and a circus horse named Bucephalus. In one room called the Green Room, which her grandmother forbids her to enter, Frieda--a girl of immense imagination--discovers a passage into another world. In the process she unravels the mystery of a family tragedy, of her own incomplete identity and unhappy parentage. Her journey moves her from loneliness to community, from darkness to light, from lies to truth, from death to rebirth.
