Bookroo's summary

Orphaned Mary Lennox arrives at her uncle's eerie Yorkshire mansion, feeling lost and alone. But whispers of a forgotten garden spark her curiosity. With newfound friends, Mary embarks on a quest to unlock its secrets and revive its beauty. Can this hidden sanctuary transform her life and those around her?

From the publisher

Following Sterlings spectacularly successful launch of its childrens classic novels (240,000 books in print to date), comes a dazzling new series: Classic Starts. The stories are abridged; the quality is complete. Classic Starts treats the worlds beloved tales (and children) with the respect they deserve–all at an incomparable price. The discovery of a neglected garden transforms the life of a sullen and unloved little girl-and everyone around her, too. When the newly orphaned Mary Lennox leaves her native India and arrives at her uncles mansion in Yorkshire, everything seems strange to her. Then Mary hears of a mysterious garden where no one has set foot in 10 years. With the help of some new friends, she plans to uncover its secrets…and make it blossom once again.
