 The secret garden by DuBose, Martha Hailey. I usually don't like "ye olde" books, but is really an exception. Please, just try it. It doesn't talk about sex, or drugs, or any of those things. It's just a dry, ugly little girl finally realizing the world doesn't revolve around her, thanks to 2 boys. posted Jan 2, 2011 at 9:36PM
