This book, The Secret Garden, is not only a classic, it’s also one of my personal favorites. It’s about when 9 year old Mary Lennox goes to live with her Uncle at Yorkshire Moors, because everyone else in her family died of Cholera. When she comes, she is a mean, selfish, rude girl. She finds that the Moor is a strange place, with over one hundred rooms, most of them locked. The ones that are not locked have strange portraits in them. One day she hears crying. Soon she meets Colin, a boy who cannot walk because of his back. They become sort of friends. Mary soon discovers that her Uncle’s wife died. There are a lot of gardens on the Moor, but one has been locked up for ten years because that was the Uncle’s wife’s favorite. Mary finds a key and gets into the garden. Meanwhile, she has met Dicken, who loves gardening and animals. Together they fix up the garden, and Colin comes, too. Mary is becoming healthy and prettier and nicer, too.

This book is the best book ever. At first glance it seems long and difficult to read. Frances Hodgson Burnett writes how Dicken talks, and he has an accent. It is strange at first to read that. But after a few chapters with him in it, it is normal. After you read this and you go to read another book, it seems strange that they are not talking with an accent! You all need to go and read this book NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
