Mary Lennox became an orphan at the age of ten when a cholera epidemic killed everyone in her family in India even though she was never being cared with her parents busied themselves with parties and entertainments. Mary was sent to live at Misselthwaite Manor in England with her Uncle Craven. Uncle Craven went off traveling the world after the death of his wife, so Mary was left alone by herself in the big house. There was only one person who was left to attend to Mary’s, maid Martha was a fri...more
I loved these books! The only one in this set I haven't read was Anne of Green Gables and that was because I was so young and more irresponsible and so I lost it (I still have no clue how) before I could read that one. I still plan to read the book though. The Secret Garden and A Little Princess are two of my favorite books of all time and they're just so charming. I remember this edition came with a charm locket, and I loved it so much. Also, I don't know if it's because I owned the books with...more
This book touched me, deep inside and I’m sure it has touched many people over the years. It's not a hard reading book but sometimes good books aren't. I only read books once, but this book I read about three times. This book shows the unmistakable love between a father and daughter. Sara Crewe goes to a boarding school in London while she goes to fight in the war. She seems just like a princess. She has beautiful clothing toys and manners. Then all of a sudden her father is said to be dead and...more
Such a cute story although present day, Sara Crewe would be diagnosed with dissociated personality disorder and medicated. I also love the movie that came out in the 90's where a lot of liberties were taken with story, but I think in a good way. This is so much darker than that movie almost like the complete opposite of the Secret Garden, but I prefer the big dramatic ending of the movie. Plus, I think an English-Indian guy adopting a little rich girl now so they can be rich together would be de...more

Sara and her father go looking for a doll that can be with Sara when her dad is gone at war. They go to a bunch of stores until they finally found Emily. She was a beautiful china doll with jet black hair and lovely curls. Sara and her dad went and got a wardrobe as big as Sara's for Emily.
Finally, the day came for Sara to go to the school. her first lesson was French. Sara really wanted to tell Ms. Minchin that she already learned French and she could speak it fluently. When the teacher came i...more

This book is about this little girl that doesn't have a father. The father is really rich, and this little girl gets whatever she wants. Later on, she gets sent to this horrible school, which you have your own room and you have to live in the school. The room was small, ugly, and full with bugs, for breakfast, she only has a hard bread. She was skinnier, and skinnier. Suddenly, on her birthday, something terrible happened. Read this wonderful book to know what happened next.

I honestly don't remember the whole story because I read it a long time ago. I just remember that there was a lot of french in it and that my favorite scene was when the main character gave away her bread to someone more needy that she was. Yeah that's all I remember but the cover is WAY to pink.
I read this book.This book is amazing. I like this book. I read this book when i was 12 years old. This book is for childrens. I was expecting it to be really boring but it's a fantastic book. Before i read this book i thought the Aladin books were better. Everyone says it's a great book.
A cute little girl cut off from her fortune. It's about a girl who has a rich dad that dies. She was at a private school and it was her birthday! I feel bad for the poor girl. Even if it was just a story.
You know I liked this as a child, but struggled reading it as an adult, especially in the begining and without the suspense of not knowing what would happen. However, I perservered because I have to read it for a class I'm taking in the fall, and it wasn't so bad. I think I will recommend it to my daughter, hopefully it will make her think about how to act ;).
Love getting 'lost' in Anne's life and feel i actually grew up with her and have enjoyed every minute. This is a MUST read for any young girl
I read it more then 3 times. It was amazing, but i would not say its the best book. However, it would be my all time favorite.
I can see the strong personalities of Sara. I also loves the movie very much! A wonderful story that can encourage me!
I thought that this book was a classic, and that books like this should be read more often.
it'll lift your spirts and delite you its a good book for all kinds of ages

I really loved this book although it was really sad and had me crying at the end. It was a charming story and very entertaining. I loved the part about the coal mines.
