The Secret Garden is a sweet heartwarming book. The main character, Mary Lennox, a British girl born and raised in India, was an unhappy, spoiled, ugly child. At least until she was forced to move in with her only living relative, her uncle, the reclusive Mr. Craven. This wealthy hunchback has a large mansion with expansive grounds in Britain. Little does she know, the British countryside is the best thing for her. She becomes pretty and healthy after living there for a little while. Exploring the grounds, she befriends a robin that live in one of the closed up gardens on the grounds. Mary learns from her maid, Martha, that the garden was closed because Mr. Craven's wife died after being injured in that garden. He was so angry that he locked up the garden and buried the key. Mary's robin friend shows her the key to get into the garden and there she discovers her passion. Meanwhile, Mary also discovers her uncle's sickly son, Colin, who is cooped up in the mansion. He is much like she was, in that he is spoiled rotten. She makes friends with him and shows him how to enjoy himself. Mary wishes to fix up the garden, and with the help of Dickon, Martha's outdoorsy brother, she does so. Eventually, Mary recruits Colin to help them. She, Dickon, and Colin show Mr. Craven the fixed up garden and he is happy for the first time since his wife died.
