I Capture the Castle

3 Books:
Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett and Tasha Tudor
Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank

Statement:
The story is told through Cassandra's journals and while reading these journals we get to know her through her feelings and what she goes through. She is funny and loves life, making the reader fall in love with her character.


Question:
The book was first published in 1948 and then became unavailable. It was widely popular and evetually became reissued. Do you think it's popularity is due to the ablility to relate to adolescents or is it continuing to be loved by the generation who read it before?
