Such a fun quick read. I love this story. One is never to old for a great children's book.

A cozy short story involving growth and friendship. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I read through it during a rainstorm and I enjoyed it a lot. It's a nice book to read through if you want something less serious and brief between tasks or if you want to distract yourself from a much longer book that requires more brain power.

It is quite literally a children's book though, so if you feel reading one as an adult then don't bother (personally I have no issue with it). You can find something else perhaps.

Would vote it 5/5 if some of the adults didn't come off as unnecessarily mean.

My favorite part is when Mary found the secret garden and finally met a friend.

This book was out of my “comfort zone” but it was a quick & easy book with a light hearted story! I’m glad that I finally got the chance to read it!

This was an abridged book. Too confusing.
