Opis

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 have each other, and they are the only reason boarding school isn t completely insufferable.
 
Tragically, Mary s father passes away after he's stripped of his fortune, leaving her orphaned and with just one possession: a ticket to a ship that will bring her to the home of her last living relative, in America. But Cedric can't bear to say goodbye, and reveals that he s the son of an earl with endless riches . . .  and a huge estate that the three of them can run away to, leaving the boarding school--and thoughts of America--behind.

That s when Sara and Cedric discover that there's more to them than friendship, and Mary begins spending time with a handsome local boy--a relationship that quickly blossoms into romance.
 
It turns out that Maythem Estate is more than just a getaway--it's a secret garden of budding romance.
 
Filled with charm, romance, and swoon, 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.
