This months book club book is the secret garden. I loved this movie as a child and have hard this on my "Classics To Read" list for a long time. I am glad I finally got to read it. This took me back to my childhood and my love for the movie. The book was different from the movie, but not by much and...as usually happens better than the movie. I had so much fun reading this. I really hope this is one that I can one day share with my daughter.
"When orphaned Mary Lennox comes to live at her uncle's great house on the Yorkshire Moors, she finds it full of secrets. The mansion has nearly one hundred rooms, and her uncle keeps himself locked up. And at night, she hears the sound of crying down one of the long corridors.
The gardens surrounding the large property are Mary's only escape. Then, Mary discovers a secret garden, surrounded by walls and locked with a missing key. With the help of two unexpected companions, Mary discovers a way in—and becomes determined to bring the garden back to life." Review from Amazon
