Young adult book review: The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Who is it aimed at?
This book is primarily aimed at children, really anywhere between a basic reading age and perhaps nine or ten is the perfect time to read it however it’s always a comforting and heart-warming book to revisit when older...

Why should someone buy this book?
As one of those books that is highly regarded as a children’s classic, it may not be everyone’s taste but there is a certain sort of value and magic that it has survived. That this book still holds a deep importance is a reason in itself to at least try to read it, and that’s not even beginning on the beautifully executed plot and themes.
