Blurb
A gripping retelling of Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic tale of mystery and friendship. When Mary Lennox is sent to live with her uncle at his remote home on the moor, she thinks she'll be lonely and bored. But when she finds a rusty old key and discovers a secret cousin she never knew she had, everything at Misselthwaite Manor changes. Diamond/Band 17 books offer more complex, underlying themes to give opportunities for children to understand causes and points of view.

Dear Scarlett
The trouble with mummies
Legacy Lost
Also a young protagonist facing sudden loss and a hidden world, but this one leans into romance and undersea royal politics.
Ally
Keeps the theme of two isolated young people learning to trust each other, though here it's a slow-burn royal romance rather than a garden.
The Last Field Party
Another story about returning to a place thick with grief and memory, though this one is teen romance with football and heartbreak rather than childhood healing.
Never never
Shares the mystery of buried secrets and a locked-away past, but it's a darker teen suspense with romance instead of a gentle recovery story.
