I love this children's classic. Mary Lennox is sent from India to Misselthwait Manor where she meets Dickon the brother of Martha, one of the house maids, and Colin, the son of the owner of Misselthwait . Mary and Dickon find the secret garden that has been locked for many years and bring it back to life. This story is touching and captivating.
  
When a mysterious unseen foe kidnaps a cat and then one of the twins, the three Grace kids start to discover the strange secret of their new home. A strong plot and good character development kept me turning the pages of this novella.

When Cora gets tricked into hosting a charity crossword puzzle competition, she worries her secret might come out. However, she has other concerns when a body drops. Another fun book, although the rushed ending wasn't as strong as it could have been.

A good young cast, including a very young Paul Walker. It's a decent conspiracy thriller about a secret society that picks the best students from the top universities. After a friends apparent suicide on campus though, is there more to this elite group. It's entertaining, and has a strong cast line up, locations and action. If you like thrillers check this out.

Plot
Beautifully twisted
I really loved this show. It's dark but funny, weird and quirky. The 2 main characters totally draw you in and are acted superbly. Some people criticised it on how it portrayed intelligence agents. Who cares? It's about strong but flawed characters, not an accurate depiction of secret services. Loved it and cant wait to see more.
