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, A Secret Princess is the perfect blend of A Little Princess and The Secret Garden—and the perfect companion to Jo & Laurie.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
A Secret Princess has been praised for its surprising romance and Victorian charm, offering a fresh take on classic stories by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The book provides an engaging mash-up of beloved tales, blended with diversity and themes of social issues, set in a picturesque atmosphere that captures the essence of Burnett's original works.
