Sisterhood Classics - classic female writers, iconic female characters, superb female designers.

After losing her parents, young Mary Lennox is sent from India to live in her uncle's gloomy mansion on the wild English moors. She is lonely and has no one to play with, but one day she learns of a secret garden somewhere in the grounds that no one is allowed to enter. Then Mary uncovers an old key in a flowerbed - and a gust of magic leads her to the hidden door. Slowly she turns the key and enters a world she could never have imagined.

Reviews

A great book about a girls' football team - it's exciting, original and heart-warming

—— Jacqueline Wilson

A stunning and inspiring story that I raced through, cheering Jaz and her friends on as I read. Priscilla Mante is an author to watch.

—— Aisha Bushby, author of A Pocketful of Stars

An empowering read of friendship, family and football [...] that will encourage dreamers everywhere to shoot for the stars!

—— Maria Kuzniar, author of The Ship of Shadows

Exactly the book that my heart needed right now. It's an uplifting, fun celebration of girls in sport, and it's impossible not to root for Jaz and the rest of her team. I wish this book had been available when I was growing up!

—— Carlie Sorosiak, author of I, Cosmo

Sudanese-Australian activist Abdel-Magied's first novel is the sparkling tale of 13-year-old Layla, who moves to a new school, where she is the only pupil to wear a headscarf.
