The Secret Garden

The Secret Garden is a fun book about a girl from India who moves to England. Who turns into a good healthy, happy child. I would recommend this book to people who likes secrets.

Mary Lenox a sour looking blond girl who lives in India. Her mother & father are rich and have servants. Mary almost never sees her mother & father, because they tell the servants to hide her as much as possible. Mary's mother and father died of a illness. Mary was sent to a place with kids, all the kids hated her. Mary was taken to her uncle's house in England, Mary knows nothing about him. Martha is a servant in the home.

Martha took care of Mary. Mary hated the moor & the house. Mary likes to play in the garden. Mary sees the gardener working, his name is Ben Whetherstaff. On the same day she sees the red breast robin. The next day the robin shows Mary the key to the secret garden.

Mary finds the door underneath the ivy & goes inside the secret garden. Nobody has gone into it for 10 years. Everything looks dead. Mary asks her uncle if she can have a bit of earth. Mary asks Martha if she can have a seeds, sand, & a spade. Martha said she will tell her 10 year old brother Dickon to gather the supplies. Dickon gives Mary the seeds & spade. Mary tells Dickon about the secret garden. Dickon helps Mary with the garden. Mary finds a sick boy named, Colin crying in the middle of the night. Colin likes Mary, he sends Martha to get her. Mary & Colin are cousins. Colin is ill has a weak back & can't walk.

Colin, Mary, Dickon go to the secret garden. Colin begins to walk in the secret garden. Colin's dad come to the secret garden. Colin heals and comes racing out winning a race.

The book in my opinion is better than the movie because the book goes into more detail. The movie is old it was made in 1975.
