Barnes and Noble's Description:

Description: In this beloved children's story, Mary Lennox, an ill-tempered orphan is sent to live in England with an uncle she has never met. While there, she discovers a spoiled cousin and a long-abandoned garden. Working to restore the garden, she finds she also cures her own ill temper and reforms her cousin as well

My Thoughts: I always loved this book as a child. My mom use to read it to me. Though I found I liked it when my Mom read it to me better (go ahead and laugh) it's still one of my favorite stories and such a classic!

My Grade: A
