Summary
“Surprising and romantic.”—Book Riot
“Borrowing from Frances Hodgson Burnett’s well-known stories, Stohl and de la Cruz breathe fresh life into the narrative.”—Booklist
“A school designed for families who have a specific desire to forget they ever had children . . .”
That’s how Cedric Errol describes the Select Seminary for Young Ladies and Gentlemen to his best and only friends in the world, Mary Lennox and Sara Crewe. The school is as far away from Mary’s childhood in India and Sara’s family in Manila as either can imagine. Cedric’s past, however, remains a mystery, but soon a tragic reversal of fortune ties the fates of all three teens to the mercy of their monstrous headmistress. Their future seems anything but certain, until one of the trio reveals a secret—and a plan—that changes everything . . .

Critic reviews
“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.”—School Library Journal
