Tiani’s Reviews > The Secret Garden > Status Update

As time flies, and Mary's friendships with Colin and the friendly boy, named Dickon, strengthen, her personality begins to change. Along with Mary, Colin soon changes as well. He learns that the only cure for his illness, is not medicine or sleep, but spending times being happy with friends in the fresh air. The three friends explore and tend for their secret garden each day, growing happier and more cheerful.

Mary warms up to the maids and strange people there, and wanders the mansion in curiosity. She is taught to do things herself, and to talk with respect. She becomes friends with one of the maids. In the night, she hears the sounds of someone faintly weeping... So far, this book is interesting. I have already watched the movie without knowing that there was a book, and the book and movie seem quite similar.
