The secret garden on 81st street : a modern graphic retelling of the secret garden / by Ivy Noelle Weir ; illustrated by Amber Padilla ; lettering by AndWorld Design.
"Celebrate 110 years of Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden with this vibrant, contemporary graphic novel retelling! Video games and tech are loner Mary Lennox's main source of entertainment and 'friends' in her Silicon Valley home. But when her parents are killed in a tragic accident, Mary's life is uprooted to New York City to live with an uncle she barely knows and, to her surprise, keeps a gadget-free home. Looking for comfort in this strange, new reality, Mary discovers an abandoned rooftop garden and an even bigger secret in an upstairs bedroom: her cousin Colin, who struggles with anxiety. With Colin's help and that of a new friend named Dickon, Mary works to restore the garden to its former glory while also learning to grieve, build real friendships, and nurtur growth - both in nature and in herself."-- cover page 4.
