Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
A surprising and romantic YA retelling-mashup of A Little Princess and The Secret Garden by bestselling authors Margaret Stohl and Melissa de la Cruz.
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.

“enjoyed this book very much! I like the characters, they felt very real and their story was endearing so much so that I had a hard time putting it down. I enjoyed the way is it written as well!
the only reason it didn’t get 5 stars was because I enjoyed Mary’s pov sometimes more than Sara’s.”

“Honestly, I did not enjoy this. In fact, for me, it ruins the originals it's based off of. The authors have said it's "a re-mix of https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2998.The_Secret_Garden , https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3008.A_Little_Princess , and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/275247.Little_Lord_Fauntleroy . They are retelling the original stores, but all mixed up, with the same characters. Honestly, if it wasn't a Once Upon a Book Club selection with gifts at different page numbers, I probably wouldn't even finish this.
Edit: A few days later I read Little Lord Fauntleroy. Such a sweet innocent child. Nothing like what was described in A Secret Princess. Yes, he was kind, but other than his name and title, they changed his character completely.”
