to live at her uncle's great house with nearly one hundred rooms,
she finds it full of secrets. Her uncle keeps himself locked up,
and at night Mary hears the sound of crying echoing down one of the
long corridors. The gardens surrounding the large property are her
only escape. Then one day Mary discovers a secret garden,

unexpected companions, Mary discovers a way in--and becomes

At the age of sixteen Frances Hodgson Burnett moved to Tennessee
with her bankrupt family and began writing for American magazines
as means to support herself. Over two decades later Burnett
published "Little Lord Fauntleroy," modeling the character after
her son Vivian. Burnett's text and Reginald Birch's original
illustrations helped popularize a very romantic style of dress for
boys -- a velvet suit with a broad lace collar -- in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

A secret garden with a tragic past, a mysterious cry, an imposing
estate in the English countryside. A human-like robin, a boy named
Colin, bedridden by a presumed serious illness, and a girl called
Mary, who facing difficulties and making new friendships finds
herself growing up in a mysterious and fascinating environment.

thing. If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess
inside.' 'A Little Princess' tells the story of Sara Crewe, beloved
daughter of the revered Captain Crewe. Sent to board at Miss
Minchin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies, Sara is devastated when
her adored father dies. Suddenly penniless, Sara is banished to an
attic room where she is starved, abused, and forced to work as a
servant. How this exceptionally intelligent girl uses the only
resources available to her, imagination and friendship, to overcome
her situation and change her fortunes is at the centre of this
enduring classic. First published in 1905, 'A Little Princess' is a
heart-warming tale of hope, hardship and love set against a
backdrop of Victorian England, and is one of the best-loved stories
in all of children's literature.

Suddenly she is treated no better than a scullery maid. Her own fierce determination to maintain her dignity and remain a princess inside has intrigued and delighted readers for almost a hundred years, even inspiring a recent popular feature film.

search for the lost prince of Samavia is back with a gorgeous new
cover. Twelve-year-old Marco Loristan has spent his life moving
from place to place with his father, Stefan, always hiding their
heritage. Their home country of Samavia has been in turmoil ever
since the king was overthrown five hundred years ago, and now its
people are forced to fight in the armies of warring factions. But
legend has it that the heir of the true king escaped, and his
descendant is waiting until the time is right to reclaim the throne
and restore peace to the country. While living in London, Marco
learns of a secret his father has been hiding: Stefan knows the
identity of the lost prince and that he'll reveal himself soon. But
they have to spread the word to the prince's supporters. And to do
that, they'll need a messenger who can escape the notice of the
current ruler's spies-someone like a young boy. With the help of an
orphan he befriends in London, Marco is tasked with traveling
across Europe to share the news, preparing the way for the lost
prince to return.
