Description
Book SynopsisBest 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.
Trade ReviewPraise 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 Burnett’s Victorian world will enjoy this adaptation.” —
Kirkus Reviews“Borrowing from Frances Hodgson Burnett’s well-known stories, Stohl and de la Cruz breathe fresh life into the narrative.” —
Booklist“A charming mash-up of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s beloved classics
A Secret Garden,
A Little Princess, and
Little Lord Fauntleroy . . . Will keep readers, especially fans of Burnett’s work, turning pages to see just how these distinct characters can define their futures.” —
The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s 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.” —
