booksny 's review for:

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
4.0
mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A lovely classic story - enjoyed its pacing, descriptions of beautiful nature and feel-good elements. Some bits which haven't aged well around race and class and illness, and some flat side characters, but a lot of thought had been put into the two main characters and their development
