Thornhill by Pam Smy
Set in two timelines, this haunting tale intertwines the lives of two lonely girls, Mary and Ella, separated by decades but connected through the eerie Thornhill Institute for Children. Mary's story, told through her diary entries from 1982, reveals her struggles with bullying and isolation in the orphanage, leading to a tragic end. In the present day, Ella, a curious and empathetic girl, moves into a house overlooking the now-abandoned Thornhill. As she explores the dilapidated grounds, she uncovers Mary's poignant story, leading to a chilling and emotional climax that blurs the lines between past and present.
