The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett (A "Top 50 Post")
Man, this book...
Okay, I still read this book every few years. It's just that good.
The other day, my storytime kids were talking about heroes and one girl said hers was Mary Lennox. My heart melted.
This book, without a doubt, is far superior to A Little Princess. I like A Little Princess, but, compared to Mary, Sarah just isn't a real girl. We may not all be as sour as Mary, but I think we all feel like Mary sometimes.
Frankly, I never felt like Sarah Crewe. I'm just not that nice.
