I first picked up this book as a child because of the beautiful illustrations in the edition I had, but it is the captivating (if at times spooky) story of Mary Lennox that has stuck with me through the years. I think I mostly enjoyed reading about a little girl who wasn’t perfect or proper.

Read with the 'Lets Get Classical' Book Club. Enjoyed it but not my fave children's story!

The Secret Garden is a super great book. I read it awhile ago and it is really heart warming. I think that the movie they made of it is also really good. People should read the book and then watch the movie.
