Book Overview

by Mariah Marsden (Adapted by), Hanna Luechtefeld (Illustrator)

Green-growing secrets and powerful magic await you at Misselthwaite Manor, now reimagined in this bewitching graphic novel adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett's beloved tale.

From Mariah Marsden, author of the critically acclaimed Anne of Green Gables: A Graphic Novel, comes this second installment in a series of retold children's classics.

Ten-year-old Mary Lennox arrives at a secluded estate on the Yorkshire moors with a scowl and a chip on her shoulder. First, there's Martha Sowerby: the too-cheery maid with bothersome questions who seems out of place in the dreary manor. Then there's the elusive Uncle Craven, Mary's only remaining family--whom she's not permitted to see. And finally, there are the mysteries that seem to haunt the run-down place: rumors of a lost garden with a tragic past, and a midnight wail that echoes across the moors at night.

As Mary begins to explore this new world alongside her ragtag companions--a cocky robin redbreast, a sour-faced gardener, and a boy who can talk to animals--she learns that even the loneliest of hearts can grow roots in rocky soil.

Given new life as a graphic novel in illustrator Hanna Luechtefeld's whimsical style, The Secret Garden is more enchanting and relevant than ever before:

A fresh, visually stunning retelling of one of the most beloved children's classics
Playfully teaches lessons about kindness, resilience, and emotional transformation
A richly visual reading experience well suited to emerging and reluctant readers ages 9-11
Additional features teach readers about the life of Frances Hodgson Burnett and the history of British colonialism that contextualizes the original novel, making this a valuable classroom resource and literary companion.

For young readers, fans of classic literature, and anyone who loves beautifully illustrated stories about growth and discovery, The Secret Garden: A Graphic Novel invites you to step inside a world of mystery and magic. Open the book and uncover the secrets waiting to bloom.
