ANNOUNCING: The Secret Garden on 81st Street
I’m proud to announce my debut graphic novel The Secret Garden on 81st Street written by Ivy Noelle Weir and published by Little Brown. The book will be released on October 19, 2021, and is currently available for pre-order from a wide variety of vendors.
The artwork created for the book includes original character designs, cover art, digital pencil layout, inks, and colors. The lettering was done in-house by the publisher.
Below is the publisher’s description:
Mary Lennox is a loner living in Silicon Valley. With her parents always working, video games and tech become her main source of entertainment and "friends." When her parents pass away in a tragic accident, she moves to New York City to live with her uncle who she barely knows, and to her surprise, keeps a gadget free home. Looking for comfort in this strange, new reality, Mary discovers an abandoned rooftop garden and an even bigger secret…her cousin who suffers from anxiety. With the help of her new friends, Colin and Dickon, Mary works to restore the garden to its former glory while also learning to grieve, build real friendships, and grow.
