The Lizard Garden Anne E Phillips

Twelve-year-old Charlotte has moved to a new home every year of her life and wants nothing more than to settle down, but when her father's work takes the family to the Netherlands for the summer, Charlotte and her siblings, Milo and Alice, find unexpected challenge and adventure. Their thatched-roof cottage seems straight from a fairy tale, but Charlotte feels like she's living a mystery. Why are the elderly neighbors at the end of the canal so secretive? Is there a connection between Rembrandt's Night Watch and the enormous lizards in an Amsterdam park? Most importantly, what can Charlotte take with her from the places she must leave behind?
