In the Remixed Classics series, authors from marginalized
backgrounds reinterpret classic works through their own cultural
lens to subvert the overwhelming cishet, white, and male canon.
This queer YA reimagining of The Secret Garden subverts the cishet
and white status quo of the original in a tale of family secrets
wonderful and horrifying. Mary Lennox didn't think about death
until the day it knocked politely on her bedroom door and invited
itself in. When a terrible accident leaves her orphaned at fifteen,
she is sent to the wilderness of the Georgian Bay to live with an
uncle she's never met. At first the impassive, calculating girl
believes this new manor will be just like the one she left in
Toronto: cold, isolating, and anything but cheerful, where staff is
treated as staff and never like family. But as she slowly allows
her heart to open like the first blooms of spring, Mary comes to
find that this strange place and its strange people--most of whom
are Indigenous--may be what she can finally call home. Then one
night Mary discovers Olive, her cousin who has been hidden away in
an attic room for years due to a "nervous condition." The girls
become fast friends, and Mary wonders why this big-hearted girl is
being kept out of sight and fed medicine that only makes her feel
sicker. When Olive's domineering stepmother returns to the manor,
it soon becomes clear that something sinister is going on. With the
help of a charming, intoxicatingly vivacious Metis girl named
Sophie, Mary begins digging further into family secrets both
wonderful and horrifying to figure out how to free Olive. And some
of the answers may lie within the walls of a hidden, overgrown and
long-forgotten garden the girls stumble upon while wandering the
wilds... The Remixed Classics Series A Clash of Steel: A Treasure
