A Bit of Earth by Karuna Riazi

4.0

A tender and lyrical middle grade novel retelling of The secret garden featuring a young Muslim girl from Pakistan who has tragically lost her parents. Full of the healing power of plants, new friendships and South Asian culture, this was a great debut and a really well executed reimaging of a beloved classic. Great on audio narrated by Subhadra Newton. Highly recommended!
