The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

3.0

Loved reading about Mary and her transformation with change in surroundings. Colin's transformation however felt cringey. By this point the fresh air and their healthy appetite was creating a lot of eye roll moments.
This book was written late 1800s something and I dislike the author's tone about India and the natives. That definitely put me off. Also the "young Rajah's" (Colin) constant mentions of magic is just exhausting!
Giving the book 3/5 because I loved seeing Mary's transformation.
