horrorislit22 's review for:

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
5.0

“To let a sad thought or a bad one get into your mind is as dangerous as letting a scarlet fever germ get into your body. If you let it stay there after it has got in you may never get over it as long as you live.”

I love revisiting classics, especially as an adult. I remember the movie from when I was younger, but never got around to reading the book. Now at 31, I’m happy I did. What a fantastic story of 2 bratty kids (and adults) learning about life, love, acceptance, growth and not ALWAYS getting their way. This is a must read for everyone at least once in their lifetime!
