If you're open to adding romance to this list, I can highly recommend "The Someday Garden" by Ashley Poston. It is not a retelling, but inspired by The Secret Garden and the garden is such a central part to the story and romance. 🌷🪷🌺
Thank you!! 💐
I would have added * the secret garden * if it weren't already here. Love the list idea 💖🌿
Thank you!! I really want/need more books for this list!
