Green-Growing Secrets and Powerful Magic Await You at Misselthwaite Manor:


In this enchanting graphic novel adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett's beloved tale, Misselthwaite Manor is transformed into a realm of green-growing secrets and powerful magic. Mariah Marsden, the acclaimed author of "Anne of Green Gables: A Graphic Novel," presents the second installment in this series of retold children's classics.


Ten-year-old Mary Lennox arrives at a secluded estate on the Yorkshire moors, carrying a scowl and a chip on her shoulder. First, there's Martha Sowerby, the overly cheerful maid with persistent questions who feels out of place in the dreary manor. Then, there's Uncle Craven, Mary's only remaining family, whom she's forbidden 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 embarks on this new adventure alongside her ragtag companions—a cocky robin redbreast, a sour-faced gardener, and a boy who can communicate with animals—she discovers that even the loneliest of hearts can find solace in rocky soil.


Illustrated in Hanna Luechtefeld's whimsical style, "The Secret Garden" is more enchanting and relevant than ever before. At the back of the book, readers can delve into the life of Frances Hodgson Burnett and the historical context of British colonialism that frames the original novel.


Experience the magic of Misselthwaite Manor once again in this captivating graphic novel adaptation, where green-growing secrets and powerful magic await you.
