Description
A surprising and romantic YA retelling-mashup of A Little Princess and The Secret Garden by bestselling authors Margaret Stohl and Melissa de la Cruz. Best friends Mary Lennox, Sara Crewe, and Cedric Erroll are best friends. And thank goodness, since their boarding school is basically insufferable. When one of the friends suffers a personal tragedy, a plan-and a secret-change everything for the trio . . . for good. Filled with charm and romance, and inspired by some of classic literature's most beloved characters, The Secret Princess is the perfect blend of A Little Princess and The Secret Garden-and the perfect companion to Jo & Laurie.
Reviews
Praise for A Secret Princess:
Surprising and romantic. Book Riot
Stohl and de la Cruz imbue this escapist plot and heady romance with Victorian charm, picturesque villas, and idyllic atmosphere for fans of the original texts. Publishers Weekly
Readers nostalgic for Burnetts Victorian world will enjoy this adaptation. Kirkus Reviews
Borrowing from Frances Hodgson Burnetts well-known stories, Stohl and de la Cruz breathe fresh life into the narrative. Booklist
A charming mash-up of Frances Hodgson Burnetts beloved classics A Secret Garden, A Little Princess, and Little Lord Fauntleroy . . . Will keep readers, especially fans of Burnetts work, turning pages to see just how these distinct characters can define their futures. The Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books
It is refreshing to see diversity in the cast; Sara is Filipino and Cedric experiences seizures; their identities allow Stohl and de la Cruz to bring discussions of wealth, racism, and physical ailments to light in the 1860s. School Library Journal
