{"product_id":"9781909208155","title":"Devilskein and Dearlove by Alex Smith","description":"Just as Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book reworked Kipling's The Jungle Book for a modern audience with a liking for the supernatural, Devilskein \u0026amp; Dearlove is a darker, more edgy, contemporary reworking of Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic The Secret Garden. An orphaned teenager is taken in by a reluctant distant relative, and in her new home makes an unexpected friend and finds a secret realm. It has shades of the quirky fantastical in the style of Miyazaki's (Studio Ghibli) animated films like Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle (originally a novel by Diana Wynne Jones).   Alex says \"As a child The Secret Garden was one of my first favourite novels - one of the first I relished reading by myself. Although Devilskein \u0026amp; Dearlove is very different, it was inspired by that novel and its themes.\"\"Alex Smith's quirky imagination knows no bounds.\" - Andr?
