then they see it can be done--then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago.” Genre: Children’s Novel / Classic Rating: ✰✰✰✰✰ Started: 09.08.2015 Finished: 10.08.2015 There’s a mug in my room, full with little pink reading challenges. My hand randomly picked one for this month and it was ‘read a classic’. So I picked up my e-reader and went through the classics that I have. Once again I randomly picked one book and it was The Secret Garden. It seemed short and…

dark corners of our room, knowing for sure that something moved. But amazingly enough, fear can drive you to survive. Everyone must find a way to see the danger in their lives and allow themselves to continue on with it. The more people I see and work with and the more people I read about in books, the more I see that I has reason to fear. Though these thoughts could cripple me and force me to lock myself inside, I’ve had a realization. In books with each passing monster, there is always a hero…
