The Secret Garden

This is a book about a girl that grew up in India. Always the servants did every thing she wanted and more. Then she came to Misselthwaite Manor and every thing changed she learned to do things alone and finds the key to a garden nobody went in to for 10 years. Her maid Martha had a brother that loved nature. He taught her to be a gardener together they planted great many flowers. A few times she thought she heard crying. But each time she was contradicted. One night she went on a stroll and went in to a room were the crying was coming from, and found a boy her age crying. They talked and become good friends. One day she and Martha’s brother Dickon took the boy-Collin out to the garden. There Collin gradually learned to walk. The master of the house Collins father came home for a trip and found Collin walking in the garden. He was very surprised!! Then they both walked hand in hand up to the house.


I really like this story and recommend it very much. It shows you:
1.that nobody is perfect but you can try to be closer to perfect
2.hope is always important even in hard times
3.a helping hand is always useful
4.not believing in something or some one is like forcing him to be sick

T, that's an interesting take, esp the part about believing and trying harder. L
