De: Margaret Stohl, Melissa de la Cruz

“Surprising and romantic.”—Book Riot

“Borrowing from Frances Hodgson Burnett’s well-known stories, Stohl and de la Cruz breathe fresh life into the narrative.”—Booklist

“A school designed for families who have a specific desire to forget they ever had children . . .”

That’s how Cedric Errol describes the Select Seminary for Young Ladies and Gentlemen to his best and only friends in the world, Mary Lennox and Sara Crewe. The school is as far away from Mary’s childhood in India and Sara’s family in Manila as either can imagine. Cedric’s past, however, remains a mystery, but soon a tragic reversal of fortune ties the fates of all three teens to the mercy of their monstrous headmistress. Their future seems anything but certain, until one of the trio reveals a secret—and a plan—that changes everything . . .

Bored

Very boring book I am glad it is over it was a waste of time.
