If you like The Secret Garden, you’ll like this, as it follows the original pretty directly beat for beat. Extra points for taking place in Canada (I’m from Toronto and have spent a little time not too far from Georgian Bay), minus a few for not including the full final confrontation on the page (may not have been necessary but I wanted it anyway).
