Mary Lennox is a sour-faced 10-year-old girl, who is born in India to selfish wealthy British parents who had not wanted her and were too wrapped up in their own lives. She was taken care of primarily by servants, who pacify her as much as possible to keep her out of the way. Spoiled and with a temper, she is unaffectionate, angry, rude and obstinate. Later, there is a cholera epidemic which hits India and kills her mother, father and all the servants. She is discovered alone but alive after the house is empty. She is sent to Yorkshire, England to live with her uncle, Archibald Craven at his home called Misselthwaite Manor.

Though it’s hard to choose a favorite J.K Rowling novel, the final book of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, stands out. In book seven, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are at their most vulnerable. They face heartbreak, death, and innocence-shattering disappointments—and yet they’ll inspire you to stand up for what you believe in, regardless of the odds stacked against you. Along the way, they’ll remind you that, even in times of great peril and tremendous grief, the cycle of life continues: weddings planned, babies born, laughter shared. So raise your butterbeer-filled glasses to the Boy Who Lived and Hermione and Ron, whose existence exemplifies the old adage that you can survive anything with a little help from your friends.
Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic novel The Secret Garden is a wonderful tale. Which unique and quirky character are you?
