The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett summary: Mary Lennox is a sour, disagreeable girl. Upon the death of her parents, she is sent to England to live with her uncle at Misselthwaite Manor, a vast estate full of secrets situated on the wild Yorkshire moors. Here she begins to unearth mysteries...When Mary discovers the key to a secret garden that hasn't been tended for ten years, her spirit is kindled. As the days grow warm, she makes friends with creatures and fellow children; she blooms with the flowers. The magic of the garden gives her light, hope, and the courage to continue on.
