Review
"This adaptation has its own special appeal. Although considerably shorter than the original, it remains faithful to the plot. Allen's oversize chalk drawings are handsome. Children sometimes pass over Burnett's story because by the time they are able to read it, they are no longer interested in the subject. For them, this adaptation will work well."--Booklist.

My seven-year-old daughter loves to read and I was eager to introduce her to the classics in English literature. I knew the original versions might be too daunting for her due to the high level vocabulary and have been looking around for well-written adaptations that retain the essence of the original.
James Howe has done a great job on this adaptation. The language is just right, it is not too easy and yet not too advanced for an independent young reader. There are some lovely black and white illustrations in this book that keep readers engaged with the story. The Secret Garden is one of my daughter's favorite books, and she is now looking forward to reading the unabridged version, well in the near future anyway.
There are many other classics in the Stepping Stones Classics chapter book series, and I highly recommend them for independent young readers who'd like to read the classics. There is also an excellent DVD of The Secret Garden which I think would be a lovely complement to this book:
The Secret Garden
There is also a nice sequel on DVD which my daughter enjoyed:

I have the movie but I like to read the book first. I rate this book highly. I think it is a very good book. I would suggest others to read it, child or adult.
