Oh, that's a little disappointing but at least it can be shipped from elsewhere.

IndyFan

The library says it is on the way.

LilMouse

How you liking Secret Garden?

IndyFan

It's not what I expected! Living in India; everyone dies and she is left alone in a house;
boat to England; lives in a house where she only sees 2 people.

However, there is a tag in the front of the book that says I will get 13 AR points.

LilMouse

Oh wow, so you really went in knowing nothing about the story?

I loved how atmospheric the movie was




eta: ahhhh old trailers with voiceovers.

BehrItAll

Oh I saw Francis Ford Coppola's name.

That's such a good movie.

IndyFan

I didn't know there was a movie. That will go on my Netflix list.

LilMouse

I think he's been involved in more of our childhood movies than we know.

Colin Firth was also in a more recent version but I don't want to see it. I just care about the 93 version.

IndyFan

There are movie versions from 1987, 1993, & 2020.
Since you like the 93 version, I'll try that one.

LilMouse

There's also one from the black and white film days, but the girl playing Mary is so screechy, it's terrible.

IndyFan

I finished Secret Garden, and today picked up The Philharmonic Gets Dressed.

LilMouse

Did you like Secret Garden?

IndyFan

Yes. I liked the way the girl stood up to the spoiled boy, because she was the same type of person. I also related to the boy with the bird on his shoulder, a squirrel in his pocket & a pet fox, planting seeds.

LilMouse

Dickon

So many people ship Dickon and Mary.

BehrItAll

He sounds like a boy Cinderella.
