The Secret Garden (Illustrated with Interactive Elements) by Frances Hodgson Burnett

hopeful fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

A classic kids' story with a clear lesson. Parts of the story definitely didn't age well, but beyond that, it has definite charm, and this edition with all the art and interactive elements in it made it all the more fun. I also like how this book is basically all about manifestation.
