This book follows a once spoiled girl who changed by the end of the book and found friendship along the way. Mary Lennox was a spoiled, sickly little girl. She was hated by everyone she met, and she hated them likewise. But when her parents die unexpectedly, Mary is taken from her cushy life and is made to go to her uncle’s gloomy mansion. There she, unexpectedly, finds friendship and her spoiled attitude begins to fade away and is replaced with a kind and caring heart. Mary also discovers a mystery after discovering a buried key. She is able to unlock a mysterious garden and also open up her heart to new things and friendship.
I believe that everyone could benefit from reading this book. It proves the power of friendship and opening your heart to people. It teaches the importance of family and loved ones. At first, Mary was a spoiled little girl but by the end of the book, she was one of the most admirable characters in the story. I suggest this if you like friendship, classics, and mysteries. Happy reading!
