The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

4.0

This was one of those classics I thought might be over hyped and not for me, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this book. I liked how it shows that people can change if given the right environment and reasons. Also really liked how Mrs. Burnett showed how important nature and exercise are to life because it was a different message for the time when it was written. I read it when I was 10 years old but didn't know if I truly enjoyed it when I was younger. Somehow I think that I understood and enjoyed it more when I was older since I understood the references and could easily pick up on the hidden messages hidden within the novel. I'm definitely glad I got this book when I was younger; honestly got it because of the cover art since it matched the style of my copy of "A Little Princess."
