The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

I finally finished reading The Secret Garden to Natalia. Wow, it took a while, but we finished it, all 386 pages! At about page 280, Natalia started to loose interest, but then all of a sudden, she started to get into the book again. Today, she didn't want me to stop until we finished it. Needless to say, we read until 9:45 p.m. tonight.

While reading through the book, I often stopped and asked her questions to make sure that she was actually paying attention. It amazes me how she can stay focus even though sometimes she looks as if she is somewhere else. For example tonight, in particular, she blew me away. In the last chapter, it talks about a letter that Mr. Craven received from Yorkshire. I asked Natalia, "who do you think sent the letter?" Natalia's answer was Martha (the answer was actually Susan Sowerby, Martha's Mom). I asked Natalia why she thought that it was from Martha and she said, "well, because she speaks Yorkshire." Oh and then, I was reading in a hurry and I mispronounced a word. She stopped me and corrected me. ~What am I going to do with her...
