A Spectacular Read!!!!
The secret garden was a book filled with wonder. It was happy at points, sad at others and all together inspiring. Mary Lennox, the main character, was left forgotten at her house when her parents died of cholera. Mary was sent to live with her hunchback uncle Craven. Mary is a sour, mean tempered nine year old girl who was never cared for or loved by her parents or anyone. She was waited on hand and foot, but when she goes to live at Misselwaithe Manor she will have to learn to do a lot more than she has ever done. When Mary arrives she makes friends for the first time with a boy named Dickon. Dickon is a young boy about her age who is an animal lover; he is kind and loving to everyone. On th eother hand Collin, a young boy, Mary's age, is just like Mary, tempered, skinny and all. These three children go into a garden and make it look beautiful. It sounds boring, right? Well the twist is that the garden has been locked up for a whole decade and has never beeen opened since, hence the name "The Secret Garden." The children have secret meetings in the garden. Collin is a supposed cripple, but has just been ailing himself by lying in his bed for almost a decade. At the end will Collin get well or will he begin to be hunchback like his father???? In this book is love, laughter, sadness, happiness, twist, turns, and a very surprising ending! This is one of the best books I have read. I would definetely recommend this book to anyone who likes descriptive, original, dramatic books. I would say that it s good for rainy days and a boring week. I hope you that you enjoy this book as much as I did.

Wonderful book for adults and children
This book is a great book for anyone from children to adults. A reminder of what childhood can be when we give children what they need.

A great start!
I am 9 years old, about the same age as Mary the main character in the book. When I first got the book I thought I would not be interested in it. However, I kept on reading and it got really good. The story is very well told, it is easy to follow, the vocabulary is not very hard. You just have to be patient and towards the middle the story gets very interesting. Also at the end of the book there are questions about the story that makes you wonder how you would feel in Mary's situation. My mom felt that this book would be a good introduction to reading good literature, and I agree. I felt it was very educational and appropriate for my reading level. I would recommend it to any girl or boy that is ready for some serious reading.

Truly a Story that will touch one's heart deeply
The first time I read this book must have been when I was in fourth grade, and I loved it so much and read it many times after that. I had to do a book report and that was when my dad recommended this book to me. I was reluctant to read this book at first, however, I was quickly captured in the magic of this book. It truly opened a door to a new world of a journey in a land of Classic books. I cried while reading this book.. because I'm also very emotional. It's about an arrogant, selfish, and lonely girl who discovers a secret world behind a door. Gradually through the stories she learns to smile, laugh, and be a child. She makes friends for the first time and becomes more bright and glowing then ever! If you don't read this book... you will regret it... Read it and enjoy!!! :)

Relive your youth
I remember reading this book as a kid but it seemed heavy and difficult back then. After re-reading it I see all that I missed during my first reading. It is a wonderful book full of suspense, sadness, happiness and hope. I really think it should be something that middle school or high school kids read as they are more adult to understand some of the concepts in it. Otherwise I suggest parents read it with your children so you can explain the vernacular and time period. I love the descriptions of the garden and characters. It is correct to be a classic. Read it and get transported to your youth, playing outside and enjoying nature.

Classic
This is a true classic. A girl named Mary Lennox was a selfish, unattractive and disagreeable child. When both her mother and her father dies, she is sent to live in her uncle's mansion. One day she discovers a key that would open a garden that has not been entered in 10 years. She goes into the garden every day and each day she's in there she becomes a little less selfish, a little more attractive , and a little more lovable. This is a must read book

a complete and total surprise!
as a person that likes the classics with action and books of warfare, i thought my friend was crazy when he recommended this book to me. to be honest, i was very doubtful of the book when i bought it. much to my astonishment, this book is full of moral meaning in life itself; a girl who hasn't been loved at all in her life is sent to live with her uncle. she never loved anyone since she hadn't had anyone love her, and as such, was a very miserly person with no care in the world for a soul around her. as she lives with her uncle in a huge house, she often hears cries coming from the part in the house she is to refrain from going to. one night she ventures in to find her cousin whom she had never even known about; he was much the same as she was, a very horrid person. the girl meets Dickon, a very loving and caring person. his love and care rubs off on her, and in turn, it rubs off on her cousin Colin. all in all, it is a great moral in life at how one person can turn an entire family around with very little influence.

A PASSIONATE STORY
The Secret Garden is an emotional story. It involves drama, love, sadness, and ends in happy way. Though it is a great book it would be challenging for young readers minds.
