The story itself is interesting and also a bit flat; on the surface only kind of story. Moreover, it was written with the purpose of just making it prolonged with extra unnecessary details, which made it really long and boring.
It wasn’t as enjoyable for me at the beginning as the ending was, I quite liked the ending. And I think it was really good written comparing it to my last reads, which were rather rushed to an end.
The characters were lovely, the setting was perfectly put together, although sometimes it was a little hard to imagine. However, I did not enjoy the theoretical and the religious parts; as short as they were, I didn’t think they added meaning to the story itself, they were relatively confusing.
I would recommend this story as a cheerful read to younger ones with skipping the parts about questioning time and the Bible verses altogether.

There is nothing like a good old children story. Those who think we don't need them anymore when we grow up, must have very dull and miserable lives. I guarantee you this book embraces the wonder and joy of childhood and reminds us that dreams are what can colour our lives with marvel.

This is a mysterious, delightful book filled with ghosts and time travel and family. Tom, in his unhappiness at staying with his aunt and uncle, discover a midnight garden which does not exist at any other time. Yet he appears to be going back in time...either that, or he's seeing ghosts. Or is he the ghost? He ponders this for many mornings, wondering just how real such an unreal place can be.
Tom's Midnight Garden is written in that typical 50's style, but a style that is nonetheless intriguing. Both Tom and Hatty and their respective families pose as much curiosity at times as the time travel question does. Overall, this is a fun book, perfect for a fifth or sixth grader interested in ghosts.

Tom’s Midnight Garden was the winner of the 1958 Carnegie Medal. Like most older books, it has wonderful descriptions and a wonderful childlike innocence.
I had read that Tom’s Midnight Garden is comparable to The Secret Garden by Frances Eliza Hodgson, but the similarities are superficial. Both books have children who have discovered a garden where adults are unaware of the mystery that surrounds them and the protagonist is lonely and dejected.
Tom enjoys the garden as a toy or an adventure. The garden becomes the setting to meet Hattie, though he just sees her as a playmate and doesn’t completely realize...
