About the Secret Garden
— feeling excited 
I found this book very engaging as a child. It has elements of history, childhood curiosity, and character education. I love that it is an engaging, easy-to-read chapter book. I would consider using this when reading with upper level small-groups to help build their critical thinking skills. I would also like to consider using it in literature circles, and I hope to have a copy in my classroom library. I would use this book in 5th and 6th grade.
