The protagonist, Mary Lennox, is approximately 12 years old when she is suddenly, shockingly orphaned. The Secret Garden was first published in 1910, and has since yielded multiple films and stage versions. This graphic novel, written by Ivy Noelle Weir and illustrated by newcomer Amber Padilla, is a truly modern graphic retelling of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic children’s novel The Secret Garden.
