The Secret Garden is written by Frances Hodgson Burnett. This book is 234 pages. I don't recommnd this book to young adults or even adults because the ook was more written for younger readers around 10-13 years of age.
This book about a young girl (Mary) who moves to England with her uncle because her parents die. She discovers many things as she begins her new life with her uncle. Mary soon makes friends as she realizes her uncle is hardly around to keep her any company. She meets Martha who is a housemaid, Martha ends up telling about the garden that is locked because of the memories it reminds her uncle. Mary then makes some other friends who help her out with discovering and transforming the garden. To find out what else happens along her journey you must read to find out.

ReplyDeleteWhen I was little my Grandma read me this book every time I came over to see her. This was a great book because I still remember it. Also, i have seen the movie and love that too!
ReplyDeleteI remember reading this book, it was a good book. I would definitely have to agree on the whole only for the younger readers.
ReplyDeleteIs this a book you've reread recently? Who are the other friends that Mary makes? What kind of girl would like reading this? Do you have recommendations for older readers?
