This was a re-read for me, as I read this for school when I was younger.
See reviews first on my blog

The Secret Garden ended up being a bit of a surprise for me, after the first quarter of the book I wasn't really sure if I was going to like it or not. Thankfully the rest of the book I really enjoyed and grew to love the characters.
As Mary got to go out and explore and be a little kid we see her start to grow and change as a person. Then we get to see her help Colin and help him get a chance at a life he had never had before due to always being kept hidden away. The friendship these two make was so nice to see and I loved how some of the staff was so supportive of them going out and about and enjoying the world.

Overall this ended up being a fun classic that I enjoyed. The characters were so fun, and I loved the way they talked about the Garden and made it there own place after it having been abandoned for so long.
