Summary

In Frances Hodgson Burnett's timeless classic, "The Secret Garden (Illustrated Edition)," readers are invited into a lush, transformative world where healing and rejuvenation unfold. The narrative follows the journey of Mary Lennox, a neglected and sour child who, after the death of her parents, discovers a hidden garden at her uncle's estate. Through evocative prose and rich imagery, Burnett weaves themes of friendship, the restorative power of nature, and the potential for personal growth. The illustrated edition enhances the experience, enriching the text with visual representations that evoke the mysterious beauty and enchantment of the secret garden itself. Frances Hodgson Burnett, an esteemed author of children's literature, was deeply influenced by her own experiences of loss, displacement, and the yearning for connection. Born in England and later moving to America, Burnett carried the weight of her childhood struggles into her writing. Her understanding of healing through nature and companionship is vividly manifested in this enchanting tale, reflecting her belief in the resilience of children and the importance of nurturing environments. I highly recommend "The Secret Garden (Illustrated Edition)" to readers of all ages. Its profound messages about regeneration, love, and the interplay between nature and mental well-being resonate with contemporary audiences, making it not only a captivating read but also a source of inspiration for nurturing one's inner world.

    Cassie King's father told her the universe was on her side, although lately it doesn't really feel like that's true. 
     
     
     
    The only thing Cassie enjoys is the volunteer work she does at her local library with her classmate and kind-of friend Joe. After a very intense storm, they discover an abandoned kitten. Figuring the kitten needs a friend just as much as she does, Cassie names him Albert and takes him home with her. 
     
     
     
    Soon Cassie begins to notice that Albert is acting . . . strange. He seems to have impossible strength. Cassie swears she sees plumes of smoke rising from his water bowl. And one day, while Albert is in the room, a unique symbol appears on Cassie's closet door. 
     
     
     
    After a bit more investigating, it turns out that the symbol isn't so random, and neither was that weird storm that occurred when they first found Albert outside. Albert is not really a cat at all, and he has links to a historic and incredibly strong dragon world, a world that once had an alliance with the human one. But a breach in this usually well-oiled machine has put everyone—including Cassie and Joe—in grave danger. And their biggest enemy is closer than they ever imagined.
