In the story "The Secret Garden" by Francis Hodgson Burnett, a young girl named Mary Lennox lives in India and then moves to a big house in England after her parents pass away. Mary is a bit lonely and not very happy at first, but she starts to feel better when she plays outside and makes a new friend named Dickon who loves animals and plants. Mary finds a secret garden that's been locked for a long time, and she and her friends work together to make the garden beautiful again. As the garden grows and becomes lovely, Mary becomes happier and kinder, just like the garden. This story is best suited for kids 7+ but has been adapted for all ages.
