An enjoyable book for every age. The Secret Garden is a story of how two neglected, feral, and spoiled children becoming healthy and happy by companionship, friendship, good food, and people just being nice to them (with a little from a secret garden).

Mary and Colin, two of the main characters, have had a rough start in life. Neither of the children were wanted by their families. So, in a way, they make their own family with the help of Dickon and a few adults who care for them.

A delightful story of how our outlook, human companionship, and our own surroundings affect us as people. A bad environment can have bad results on us. A good environment can have good results on us. 4.5 stars
