Summary: a shimmering adventure of magic and adventure
Review: This book is a brilliant read for anyone old enough to feel heartwarming towards Mary and Dilan as they form bonds with nature to create a new life for the garden they find. The book starts with mary left alone and forgotten in the world, she cryes and sleeps until 3 dayes later she is accidently found and sent to live with her uncle. This starts her friendship with Martha (her chatty chambermaid) and so Dilan, Marthas' brother. When Mary finds the garden she recrutes the help of Marthas family to help her restore it. Together they are propelled into the livly and entertaining world of the secret garden and the magic it holds. An excellent read for any age and a story that stays for life like an old friend. 5 stars.

Summary: Nice book, very nice
Review: I read it last summer and I like it. I am 11 and the book has lots of vocabulary words and I sure want to read it again. It was kind of boring if a ten-year old was talking. I even understood it and the story was beautiful. I recommend this book for children 12-15. If you are younger, and you can understand this book, you are very smart!

Review: I bought this book and A Little Princess for my daughter both for the story and the illustrations. The hardback copies are definitely worth the price.

Summary: A close companion for more than forty years
Review: I first heard this book read in my first grade class in Colorado in 1956. Our teacher read to us each afternoon after lunch and recess. I looked so forward to hearing the story each afternoon. My parents had just divorced and the story of Mary just took me away from the whole ordeal. I read it for myself in the seventh grade and it was like finding an old friend. After marrying and having a daughter I bought her a little paperback copy and then later comes my grandchildren and I found it on video. You see how it has been a lifetime companion. I wish our libraries had more of this type classic and I wish I could find a hardcover blue back like the one I read in seventh grade for my home library. The movie was very close to what I had imagined years before in that first grade class.

Summary: One of the best books I've read
Review: I am 12 years old and I liked this book. It is at the top of my list along with Psycho by Robert Bloch and the Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. The description of the moors, manor and the gardens are excellent. I am also in a play, The Secret Garden as a Misselthwaite servant and after learning the story was inspired to read the book. I am glad I did because it was a REALLY GOOD BOOK.

Summary: One of my favorite childhood books
Review: I first read The Secret Garden as a child. I loved the descriptions of the house, gardens and the Yorkshire moors. The author brought the land and the people alive for me. Her descriptions were so well done that I could almost taste the baked potatoes and muffins that the children ate. It was wonderful to see Mary and Colin grow emotionally and physically. I had fun trying to decipher Dickon's Yorkshire accent. I have reread The Secret Garden several times over the years, even in adulthood. I can't wait to buy this book for my nieces and nephews. I want to share the beauty of the book with them.
