I thought this was a great resource for utilizing The Secret Garden in the classroom. I particularly appreciated how many of the activities and projects called for the students to involve themselves in the story and use their imaginations. Some of the exercises (such as imagining what happened to all the characters after the end of the novel) were so much fun for my students that my friends and I tried them out ourselves.

It was quite not interesting for me, but I enjoyed the mystery behind it. How the author explained the details very well, and especially the girl too.

This was a book that seems to be the prelude to The Secret! There is something heart-warming with all the goodness in this book, and of course, ignoring the very racist paragraphs in the beginning!
