The mystery element kept me turning the pages but it was the superb characterisation that made the story stay with meIt taught me that it's never too late to remake yourself into someone better * Telegraph *

A blend of power, beauty, vivid interest and honest goodness. Yes, if this is magic, it is good magic * New York Times *
The Secret Garden should be on every child's bookshelf * The Times *
