Reading this made me so so happy and brought me right back to my childhood. I must have read a version of it at some point in my life, because there were some details I remembered. But it has Definitely been a long time since i read it. And I loved every minute of it and know I will reread this book often.

I don't understand how this is a classic that people keep making adaptations of it's full of awful children, ableism, racism and a classiest depictions of Yorkshire

I have read and reread this story that I have two copies of the book (one which has needed tape). Following Mary Lennox and she becomes and orphan and moves in with her uncle, a man she has never met. At 10 she has to learn how to do things on her own and what she is capable of as well as becoming more aware of the people she interacts with.

Reread so I can discuss this on The Garden Path podcast soon. Fun to go through this again as an adult, since the last time I read it I was 10. I'll save my thoughts for the podcast and add a link once it's live.

the main character was insufferable in the beginning but grew on me a tad
