Note Reading ease score: 90.9 (5th grade). Very easy to read.
Summary "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a classic novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around Mary Lennox, an unhappy and spoiled English girl who is sent to live with her uncle in a large, mysterious manor in Yorkshire after the death of her parents. As she adjusts to her new life, Mary embarks on a journey of self-discovery, learning about friendship, the healing power of nature, and the importance of caring for others. The opening of the book introduces Mary as a lonely and disagreeable child, raised in India but left neglected by her wealthy parents. After a cholera outbreak leaves her an orphan, she is sent to live with her uncle at Misselthwaite Manor, a daunting and gloomy estate. Initially, she is insufferable and abrasive, demanding attention and care from the unfamiliar English servants. However, as Mary explores her new surroundings, she begins to overhear strange sounds, hinting at hidden secrets within the mansion and its gardens. Her encounter with the wildness of the moor and the personalities of characters like Martha and Ben Weatherstaff foreshadows her eventual transformation as she grows curious about a hidden, locked garden that has been abandoned for ten years, setting the stage for her remarkable journey ahead.
