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.
