This is the first book I’ve read by Walsh. I think she’s best known for a children’s time travel novel, A Chance Child, and official Lord Peter Wimsey fanfic.
I grew up on a surprising number of her books (including The Green Book, though it may have been under the title of Shine) which I did not realize were all hers until the advent of the internet. My favorites were Birdy and the Ghosties (1989) and its sequel, which I re-read a few years ago and can attest that they hold up. I didn't discover her Themistokles novel Farewell, Great King (1972) until adulthood, but it's pretty great. I remember A Parcel of Patterns (1983), about the plague in Eyam, as traumatizing.
