Description
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 / Votes
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 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
