The Secret Garden

Price: $11.96 at amazon.com
The Secret Garden is a fun story filled with miracles of healing of the both the body and soul. It all starts with a young girl whose parents want nothing to do with her, and so in time, she ends up at her uncles estate. It's a sad and dreary place since the master's wife died ten years before. In time, Mary brings to life the secret garden that has also been shut up since the death of it's mistress. This garden is a magical place full of beauty and grace. When the master's invalid son is discovered and brought to the gardens, he too is put on the road of healing. Soon after, the book ends with the reconciliation of father and son and much joy! This is a great book for that young girl in your home!

Oliver Twist

Oliver Twist Price: $8.00 at amazon.com
Oliver Twist is an early version of your typical "rags to riches" stories. I like this one very much, though. Little Oliver, motherless from birth, leads a hard life in England. From workhouse to despised apprentice to even a forced criminal, this young boy has seen the dark side of life. But in time, fate changes his course of life, and in the end, after many twists and turns along the way, he lives happily, and quite wealthy with family that loves and cares for him very much.

I love reading. In my opinion, reading is the gateway to a beautiful imagination! I sure your you enjoy this list of books for your children! Do you have any book suggestions you'd like to add? Please feel free to!
